I think a gastroenterologist can distinguish between hyperplastic polyps (which are benign) and adenomatous polyps (which are precancerous) by looking. If they were adenomatous polyps, the GI doc would have removed them and had biopsies performed.
I am not a doctor, so you should follow up with you personal physician to be on the safe side.

To answer your questions:
1) It is possible for anal polyps to present with the discomfort that you described.
2) A picture of an anal polyp can be found here:

3) If the polyps looked suspicious to your physician, a biopsy can be done to confirm the diagnosis.
4) Difficult to say without examination, but hemorrhoids are also a possibility.
You can discuss these options with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
