What a complicated question and i am not sure that i have got the gist of it, but here goes:
It is unusual, very unusual, but not impossible for the pain of knee arthritis to radiate down the back of the leg.
It is common, very common for pain of osteo-arthritis of the hip to give pain in the knee.
Pain from either knee or hip, will not radiate to the opposite limb.

I can speak from experience as I am in a similar boat. The pain in my right knee (on the inside of my knee) is so bad that I am currently going around on crutches. If I don't use my crutches I hobble so much that a pain appears in my left hip and is unbearable and has had me on the floor a few times .
I agree with chaptaz - it sounds like a Baker's cyst.

A lot of knee pain that comes with age and is assumed to be arthritis isn't arthritis at all.
It is caused by strain on the knee ligaments due to withering of the muscles that hold the knee together.
The knee evolved from the fins of lobe-finned fish. Worked fine in the water but the structure is unsound as a leg articulation. (If they were designed by God then He would have failed Engineering 1.01).
The pain tends to make the sufferer exercise even less and the problem gets worse. In the case of your friend the hip arthritis may be limiting their exercise and weakening the muscles around the knee.

Stabbing pains in my knee were the first, early signs that I would, a couple of years later, have to have a hip replacement. Then it took a while to hone down because the pain referred itself into my back and I had back, rather than hip, X-rays. I suppose knee problems could also refer themselves to another bit. My stepson has the same knee pains I had - I've told him to book his hip replacement early!
