The one that blown out looks like it could of been seen from the outside.
Could the other tires be compromised as well? It's possible, but unlikely. Have you checked to see if it's a common problem with your specific tire model? It also sounds like the shop is trying to make a buck off you by mounting off the tire and "analyzing" it. If it helps you sleep at night, then get all the tires checked.
Honestly this just all sounds like a good idea to go for a nice rubber upgrade...

But just for reference though, if Toyota is using yokohama tires, they have to be partly responsible because yokohama is a subsupplier, especially helping to deal with the issue. If you were building a motor and the screws falls off, the motor company doesn't say "hey its not my fault, you go talk to the screw manufacture."
