I have never heard of torque steer, but would definently have to look out for that on my ride.
From a noobie I would get the alignment checked out first. Also, I had buudy who had a warped rim on the front passenger side and that's made his car do the exact same thing, but again it comes down to getting a proper alignment.

Torque steering is the influence of the engine torque on the steering for some front-wheel drive vehicles. For example, during full acceleration the steering may pull to one side, which may be disturbing to the driver. This either causes a tugging sensation in the steering wheel, or else the car veers from the intended path. As the torque steer effect is directly related to the engine torque capabilities, this problem becomes more and more evident with high output engines with strong torque in the low RPM range.
but yes do get the alignment checked too

Yeah torque steer is very common in fwd vehicles. Thing that sucks is you probably wont be able to get rid of it ever, maybe just chill it out a bit. Good luck
