I think you mean front wheel drive, it is true there will be more wear on the front tires than on a rear wheel drive. That's why wheel rotation is important. As for vibration, that's far more likely to be wheels requiring balancing than because its front wheel drive.

Will bearing hub replacement cause steering vibration?

A bad wheel hub searing can cause vibration on your steering. Loose or broken steering and suspension components can cause vibrations when accelerating, decelerating or changes in speed. Worn tie rod bushings, damaged struts or shocks are common causes of vibration. Drivetrain problems, such as a bad wheel bearing, damaged CV-joint (front-wheel-drive cars), a bent or imbalanced driveshaft (rear-wheel-drive cars) or missing chassis/drivetrain damper weights are all examples of speed-sensitive vibrations.

Depends on if it's front wheel drive or all wheel or rear wheel drive. If the vehicle has a driveshaft the U-joints could be failing and that would cause qute a vibration. It could also be a bent wheel or a tire that is out of balance.

What might cause a increasing noise coming from the driver's front side wheel with acceleration that transmits to a vibration in steering wheel?

If the car is front wheel drive, could be worn left drive shaft/universal joint, especially if you hear cracking noise when turning tight and accelerating. You can check for broken rubber boot around the joint. If the car is 4 wheel drive, noise/vibration can come from damaged front transfer case/differential which is sometimes offset on the left side - usually caused by tight turns in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement?

Depending on the severity of the vibration, could be a bad tire (worn on edges) creating a "wobble" on turns, or may be a bad wheel bearing (cv joint)
