Moving forward, do you think I damaged the inner tube?
(1) Look at the chart I linked to and calculate the correct pressure.
(2) Either you or the previous owner damaged the tube. Either way, replace it. If you don't remember how, look at some videos on the topic or take the bike to a local bike shop hand have them replace it.
