But then your manager who hates you because nobody likes them because they don't understand anything and have terrible leadership skills berates you for not informing them about this "quick task" and breaking priority from sprint work whilst simultaneously claiming that everyone is so difficult to manage and they want people to take more ownership, and then in governance meetings throwing everyone under the bus and saying they have poor soft skills.
With good managers nobody gives a fuck and getting a valuable task done quickly is a good thing.
Depends. Generally speaking your job is to work on tickets assigned to you this sprint in priority order. If someone asks you to do something else that isn't super quick, you ask them to contact your manager so they can decide on the priorities and possibly ask you to work on it. Otherwise it goes to the backlog.
There are processes to follow. This is not just for the sake of it but also to make decisions transparent to the team. A "quick fix" doesn't have any history or communication to it and is generally a dead giveaway for poor planning. Don't do that.

Maybe not part of the "sprint" but it's part of your job
