Depending on the coverstock of the Bowling ball it will. It wont really affect a plastic ball, but if you have a reactive resin (which is designed deliberately to absorb oil) it may absorb SLIGHT amounts of water as well. Depending on the temperature, it may expand or contract as well. No real DAMAGE will be done though. In fact, one method for deep cleaning your equipment is to let it soak in mildly warm soapy water for an hour or two.

I believe it does. If you imagine it with a bowling ball and two tennis balls, when you roll one tennis ball into another stationary tennis ball, it rolls away, but not that far.

The bowling ball did as it has a larger mass and size.
