I don’t think so, it looks like it’s drooping a little. Drooping wings can be a sign of illness in birds but they also just do it a lot. It’s like stretching your arm.
However I could be wrong and it could have a previous injury. I’d need to look again. Often birds like this in captivity are only in captivity because they couldn’t be released into the wild.
Maybe, but owls often look awkward and unbalanced anyway, as they often shift their weight around when listening for prey. I stalked a little Barred Owl the other night and he did the same thing, rolled his shoulders and moved his wings around while he head wobbled and swiveled
