Is it possible to go in-house after only one year in big law/out of school? Not sure how much longer I can do this.

I went in-house after two years and it’s worked out very well for me, but ~traditional wisdom~ is 3-4 years. I also left during a much more employee-friendly market and had language skills that made me a rare fit for my first in-house gig, so your mileage may vary.
And also - your health (mental and physical) are way more important than any job. So it’s never too early to choose to prioritize your wellbeing over a paycheck or a certain career trajectory.

Yes.
