I burst a vein in my eyeball from

I had burst a vein in my eyeball from too much stress.

Q1) Can the sentence above be changed into:

1. A vain in my eyeball had burst from too much stress?

2. A vain in my eyeball was burst from too much stress?

Q2) One more additional question is that why the past perfect tense is used when there is no dependent clause? ex) She found that he had gone to the airport when she went home.
