Urine is supposed to be sterile. When any type of bacteria is found in a urine sample, it is indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI). E. coli is a colliform that is naturally found in our digestive tract, particularly the large intestine. Normally there are not enough bacteria present to cause harm (the bacteria will not become pathogenic and produce thair toxin until enough are present, which happens when we eat something contaminated with them). If E. coli are present in the urine, this could indicate that somehow the bladder has become infected with something from the colon.
This is not an official diagnosis by any means, merely an observation. Professional advice should be sought for a true diagnosis and treatment.
E coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections. Having e coli in your urine is not dangerous, however.

It can, most certainly. If the E. coli was not put there after the urine was added to the sample cup, it indicates that you have a urinary tract infection. It also means you should be advised to wipe front to back ONLY, or that you should not allow for anything to be inserted into your anus and then your vagina without cleaning whatever you are inserting thoroughly.
No, it is not. It depends on how much but it means an infection in any case.
