1) What secrets of mine did you tell Tim, in case he hadn't already heard everything from someone else before?
The speaker assumes that Tim might have heard all his secrets from someone else before, and he is asking his interlocutor what secrets of his the interlocutor divulged to Tim.
Is '1' correct?
Gratefully,
