If the caliper is seized you'd get uneven wear on the pads, as one side is compressing more than the other. That would cause a pull or unbalance as it's depressed. Depending on the wheel type you might have it slightly off center on the hub, though that's unlikely. You may also have warped the rotor from improper torquing of the wheel lugs or from overheating, either from the pads not being properly bedded in or the caliper sticking during driving.
