The diminutive suffix -ka for feminine gender nouns is indigenous in
all Slavic languages. I don't know Germanic philology that well, but
the German suffix may be cognate (sharing a common descent with
Slavic) or even borrowed from Slavic.

It must be "cognate" as it too old to be influenced by Slavic languages.
It seems common Indo?-germanic.

Did Anglo-Saxon have a suffix related to German?

Anglo Saxon has:
-kin, -kind, -ling, -let, -et, -ot, -cic, -cock.

Scottish Gaelic has:
?ie, -ock, ?ag, -ockie.
