a. X-rays can damage you (knock molecules apart), but they’re not strong enough to cause secondary radiation (knock atoms apart).
b. If it’s strong enough the water would probably be safer. Radiation can be used to keep food fresh longer by killing microorganisms within the food. So as long as the water has been exposed only to strong x-rays (and not alpha or neutron radiation) it’s marginally safer depending on how much x-ray radiation.

Would X-Rays damage the bottle at all?

Something that WOULD be dangerous would be a substance that emits radiation (like the cobalt x-ray imaging source that was lost in Australia, or dust and particulates from an exploded RBMK reactor) being dispersed into the water.

Just wanted to add that when I was in an airport in Japan, they let you take a water bottle on the flight but you have to run it through the x ray machine first. Apparently safe enough to be official procedure.
