Generally we see our East coast has more storms, low pressure and a tsunami too. But the East coast had less of it.

The low pressure Monsoon trough created over the plains in the summer months moves over to the Bay of Bengal & the Andaman sea during the retreating monsoon season as the monsoon winds from the southern hemisphere cool down the temp. in the plains. The temp. in the Bay of Bengal is however higher, & thus a low pressure area is created which attracts the winds from the the surrounding area. This results in the creation of a cyclonic depression which takes the form of a storm. this phenomenon occurs in the area every year.
On the other hand, the monsoon winds coming from the southern hemisphere cool down the Arabian Sea region. as the temp. is lowered, the pressure increses & the region is not warm enough to attract winds unlike the Bay of Bengal region.
Regarding the occurance of Tsunamis, these take pace generally due to underwater tectonic or volcanic activity which is more towards the east. this is because the Pacific Ring of Fire is closer to the Bay of Bengal. The region is known for its high tectonic & volcanic Activity.

Weather tends to move from west to east (at least in the latitudes of interest in this question). To the west of the Arabian Sea is a LOT of desert. To the west of the Bay of Bengal, there is a considerable amount of ocean. Water evaporates from the ocean, and the moisture in the air causes storms.

It is simple, the Bay of Bengal is much deeper than Arabian sea. Also it is located in low pressure area

we really found more low weather air pressures at bay of bengal than that of arabi. For tsunami the most earthquacking areas are around bay of bengal in east. Low pressure areas are due to the hot air coming from comparitively the large sea area in east of bay of bengal.

around the month of May (Baisakh) you have the moist winds blowing from the bay of bengal to the region around west bengal in India n bangladesh. and at the same time you have hot, dry winds blownig from the interiors of Inida i.e. form Punjab n Haryana towards West Bengal. At the place of their confluence you have thunderstorms known as "Norwesters" or "Kalbaisakhis" . these are the storms you have in the eastern coast of india.
no idea about tsunamis though

Overall temperatures are rising, and that low-pressures are directly linked to rising sea temperatures in Bay of Bengal

i think thats related to the mountains in the area which can convert wind and make loops and storms ,also the cold winds comes from north east can interact with the warm weather of the bay and make storms

no it is not arabian sea have more storms than bay of bengal as there is less vegetation cover

because of the current waves flows from east to west
