Is there any possibility that the structure of the singularity at the beginning of the universe could generate a causal loop and render the universe ultimately self-caused?

yes there was

no space time began the moment the singularity executed, there was no time prior to that

The only singularities we know of in nature do not demonstrate this behavior of immediately executing. In fact, it is not yet rigorously proven that they change their state at all. What is the causal factor with the universe?

A causal loop is self-refuting concept. For all anyone knows, the universe could be following a cyclical process of death and rebirth. But even then, you still need an external cause to bootstrap the process, otherwise you're suggesting a process (albeit self-perpetuating) that exists without a cause, which effectively abandons causality, so you don't get to invoke causality in your terminology.
