1 :
I don't see how this would happen. Nothing from the anus should enter the colon, and the fissure itself will not cause cancer (especially not of a different area). However, what is diagnosed as an anal fissure (for example bleeding) may turn out to actually be colon cancer, though I think the doctors would look around a little first.
2 :
any unhealed wound with frequent pus formation and no efforts to heal up, can become a source of transfer.
3 :
if it is associated with ulcerative colitis/chrohns disease it can go for colon cancer
4 :
no but the symptoms can be very similar - it can be misdiagnosed
