I have stopped the behaviors, but at points in the past they were taking up whole afternoons and/or evenings for multiple days in a row at time. Is this a typical experience for a teen?

No.

I'm still confused about my sexuality and worry these interactions may have shaped it. However, I feel like I'm moving in a positive direction and wonder if it's anything necessary to talk about.

As Snakebit said, shame/guilt/confusion are often helpful to talk about. Hard to talk about, but often helpful. You could describe things to your T and then see whether you and your T think there is reason to talk further about them. Then you won't have to wonder. You'll have T's thinking, and you'll be able to reflect on that and then decide whether or not to talk further.
