How important is it to ensure no grain has gone into the boil kettle? I brewed this past weekend and I don't think I set the grain bottom very well and some grain got into my boil kettle. Could this cause tannins to be released into my wort and give me some off flavors?
 
It's the grain husks that you want to be careful of... A very small amount of husks are probably not going to cause you any problems, but if you get a significant amount of husks in your boil then yes, they can release tanins into your wort.
