My sister had surgery yesterday to form a colostomy. One day later she is having delusions and hallucinations. She is also showing abusive behavior. Could any of the medications given during surgery be a cause of this?

Yes the anaesthetic drugs can still be in her system for about 24h usually - longer if any medical conditions. Other causes would have to be ruled out by the medical team looking after her.

Yes, it is possible to develop diverticulitis after a colonoscopy that showed no signs of diverticula. Diverticula can form over time, and the condition can develop suddenly due to factors such as changes in diet, increased pressure in the colon, or other underlying health issues. The absence of pouches during the colonoscopy does not guarantee they won't develop later, leading to diverticulitis.
