My mother did this to me at 2 years old. It's very triggering and traumatizing to see it happen to others.

For a split second during that underwater scene it's implied that she was forced down, probably by government agents.

When the mom first turns, they try to put her in the bath and she flails a LOT. Not exactly enough to seem like she’s forced underwater but it’s clear that the water is harming her in a similar way

Not exactly, but someone who's tied up is lowered into water slowly from a crane. He's not HELD under water - no pressure is applied - but he can't get up because he's tied, so he drowns. It's seen from a distance.

We see several flashbacks of two men where one tries to drown the other. This is a crucial part in an antagonist's backstory. I believe in the first episode there's also visual references to this?
The scenes in question are often shot in a chaotic way to stress the tense situation.
