I've been coughing up blood in my sputum over the past week, but it only happens once in the morning. It's kind of worrying. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might clear up on its own?

That could be capillary bleed,no need to worry,as the quantity is negligeble you can ignore it,if its becoming more frequent,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?

No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.
