Yes, a slight arch is normal.
Most of todays axels are garbage as noted by the picture above. Most are thin as a beer can and can bend under normal wear and tear.
Inside tire wear can be caused by quite a few things:
Bad tires.
Bad bearings or improperly set bearings.
Bent axel.
Bad spring hanger bushings.
Canted axel.
(The last one would cause the tire on one side to wear the inside and the other side of the trailer to wear the outside)
Good luck on the hunt. :)
