Question Off Center Rear End...
If my rear axle has been off center, about an inch too far to passenger side for a coupla' months, what, if any, damage could have been inflicted to Jeep?

none. at best, your driver side rear tire side wall may have come into contact with the swaybar but i think you would have noticed that.

I figured that but had to ask. Sometimes there are some great stories behind those type of questions.

Sadly, no good story here, just bad planning and lack of knowledge...two of my core competencies.
