Even if you hadn't just done a lovely job of describing a classic oversupply
situation, it is a more common and more easily solved problem so it makes
sense to rule it out first (by treating it--relief of symptoms after
appropriate treatment is diagnostic).

Even if both are true, relieving oversupply may increase tolerance (by
reducing intestinal irritation and improving cell wall integrity) to the wee
bit of foreign protein the baby encounters.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the left (smaller) breast, but
since the putative problem is oversupply, undersupply (of both breasts in
total) is not a concern.  We cannot simultaneously worry about having too
much milk and not enough milk.
