I may have bitten down on something hard or maybe it was just gum and now my wisdom is ever so slightly loose and sore.
My other wisdom teeth are fine however

If it's loose and stays that way it may possibly have a fracture. I'd have it looked at.

When I was little I used to do sort of a twist and pull. It's easier if your tooth is towards the front of your mouth. As a kid, I'd always wiggle it every couple of minutes and I'd wiggle it harder and harder each time. This really helped loosen it up so that I could pull it out with some ease.. instead of actually yanking it. If all else fails, may I suggest a mirror and needlenose pliers? :)

It depends. This would depend on your age, the health of the tooth, and the health of your gums around the tooth.
I would wait 2-3 days to see what happens.. but biting down on something generally on its own doesn't loosen teeth.

I WOULD WAIT A FEW DAY AND EAT A SOFT DIET TO SEE IF THE TOOTH IMPROVES IN FIRMNESS.
IF IT'S STILL LOOSE AFTER A FEW DAYS HAVE A DENTIST LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT MAY BE ACROWN FRACTURE.
