Yeah, there's no indication that Noro was tortured by Eto. People theorized that based on Noro's black nails, when it's more likely that they were the result of.....whatever sort of reanimated horror Noro turned out to be.

Kanae and Noro both probably got their abnormal regeneration as a result of being tampered with by Eto. We don't know exactly what happened that turned Noroi into Noro, but Eto stated she have Kanae one of her "bones", which seems to have been part of her kagune.

Rather, the whole "Torture = strength" comes from Dr. Shiba explaining how Kaneki's body was strengthened through injury. He explained that this was because as his body was damaged, the kakuhou created new RC pathways that increased strength. Urie used this theory when he started working out, intentionally pushing himself to the point of injury to gain strength faster by making his kakuhou heal the damage.
