When one wheel bearing is fixed, does the other one need to be fixed as well? (like breaks and ball joints?)

You have a bad wheel bearing.
You will have to check for the bad side.
Check for looseness and listen and feel for roughness with front and rear end both end off ground and also feel around wheel bearing area.
Sometimes a long steel bar /pipe helps on hearing test.
When replacing it always check other stuff for wear.

Yes at 125K the other bearing does not usually last much longer.
But both at one time is double expense.
But saves later repair.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
