They look like sunburn. Is the plant already accustomed to direct sun? To avoid having weak and burnt leaves, it would be best to get used to it by gradually increasing the hours of sun it receives and at what time. Start by leaving it in a spot where it gets sun for 2-3 hours (perhaps in the morning) and when the new leaves are perfect, start moving it gradually where it can be enriched with light.

This leaf bubble (as I call it) happens to many of my pepper plants after I plant them in my garden. It used to bother me but I no longer worry about it because it always corrects itself. Not saying yours will correct itself, but mine do.

Maybe. It can be hard to tell sometimes with certain pests, so it’s worth looking them over and getting a strong magnifying glass. That or just treat for pests if you’re so inclined to be safe.
I’ve also seen that kind of leaf issue when a nutrient or mineral deficiency is present. When I got leaf deformation in the past, it was because I didn’t make sure there was calcium in the soil. A quick fix can be mixing a little calcium carbonate into your next watering (and possibly a few times after that). It helped my plants out a great deal before, and now I’m more proactive about my soil.
