Do we know "a virgin of his own people" meant his own tribe?

There would have been no need to specify, otherwise. All Israelites were prohibited from intermarriage with non-Israelites.

Not according to Ezekiel 44:21-22.

21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
