So was it affection or just hunger?

This one is hunger. You can't see any happiness in Victreebel's face unlike any of his other "hugmons". Cacnea and Carnivine were affection, especially Carnivine because James was the one who saved its life. Mareanie does it out of love, because his face gets purple when he gets poisoned, so it thinks he is a Mareanie aswell.

To be fair, Vectreebel doesn't seem like a creature easy to portray as happy.
It did look happy when it first met James as a Weepinbell in a flashback.

How did he get that thing in the first place?

He caught it as a Weepinbell off-screen and put it into that fake carehouse ran by Bitch and Cassidy, by the time he recovered it it had already evolved.
For years I assumed it was one of those banned episodes like the one with Tauros, but nope, they just didn't show it.
Much later in the Jhoto episode where it was released we got to see a brief flashback where we James encounters it for the first time, befriends it, and then fights it with Wheezing before catching it.

Affection, but Victreebel does enjoy his taste.
