I had oral sex performed on me with a condom and subsequently I used the same condom for sexual intercourse (vaginal). Does this reduce the effectiveness of the condom?

Yes it can do. This is  because of probable contact between the teeth and the condom can cause cuts in the condom. It is recommended to use a new condom for intercourse.
