You sure can make the case that humans are an invasive species, but the fact is that we are the overwhelmingly dominant species on this planet, so it is what it is.
No, every other animal, bacteria, fungi, plans, aliens that visited earth, have microplastics in them as well. It will probably remain a forever mystery how it all got everywhere.
The current planetary events will be marked by a distinctive line of plastics in the sediment rock (the ‘F-U boundary’ as the future crab historians will be calling it).
Yes, but dominant (especially “intelligent”) does not need to mean destructive. Nor to multiply beyond sustainable levels (ie until we hit hard walls, at the end of the current extinction event).

I’m judging dominance by influence, not numbers.

Hopefully we fuck it enough to permanently delete us. It will take millions of years, but the biosphere will recover eventually.
