Is it normal to see some discolouration on the screen near the bottom bezel when holding the iPad with even a bit of pressure. I’ve noticed when holding the iPad or running my finger on the bezel the screen distorts/changes color. This is most prominent when a theres a black background. I’m worried this might damage my screen on the longterm.

As described, your iPad screen is “pinched” - and the distortion that you see is the very thin layer of LCD crystals being mechanically displaced, in relation to the fixed screen polariser, by applied external pressure. Either your screen is faulty or incorrectly clamped within the device housing, or perhaps the casing may have suffered impact damage along the affected bezel.
You are not likely to cause additional damage to the screen itself with this effect present. This mechanical/visual effect is often seen in LCD displays that lack a solid cover glass - but is unusual in high quality rigid displays.
