This is having me concerned..

Do you all notice there is a micro anti-clockwise movement of the second and hour hands at the same time when I slightly turn the minute hand anti-clockwise (to align to the minute maker on the dial when adjusting time)?

And then turning the minute hand clockwise slightly, the second and hour hands micro move back clockwise at the same time to the original positions.

Is this normal for all Rolex watches?
(I'm first Rolex owner so I may not be aware of it)

Every automatic watch I have ever owned does this.

It's totally inconsequential and normal.
Simply wear it and enjoy the watch for what it is

If you don't want any back and forth movement in the hands.
Get a digital watch

Every manual movement as well.

Completely normal. There is a slight amount of gear slack which you will notice with movement of the hands. Enjoy your watch.
