If you pull the inspection plate or the dust boot off the transmission you can look in and see.

Most likely the throwout bearing isn't going to be a warrantable repair since it's a wearable item like tires/clutch/brakes. Unless you can prove that there was a defect in manufacturing of the part that's causing it to prematurely go bad.
Don't double clutch. There's no need. Just causes more wear on the assembly.
You said you smell burning clutch? Might as well replace the clutch as well since you'll have everything disassembled. The clutch is usually way cheaper than the labor to take everything all apart again.
Usually the throwout bearing starts out as a whooshing sound when the peddle is not pressed. The noise goes away after pressing the peddle down. It's one of those noises that usually start out mild, and progressively get worse, and most people wait till they need a new clutch to do both at the same time. Yours sounds a little more urgent than that.
