I wouldn't say the person is held underwater. He's knocked into water by great force and his boat gets destroyed, but he survives

spoiler: the climax is resolved by the Iron Giant flying into a nuclear bomb so it wouldn't kill the humans. However, we learn in the end that his body wasn't completely destroyed and he's reassembling himself

In the backstory, Hogarth's father probably died, but it's ambiguous and not explicitly discussed.

a character is given laxatives without his knowledge. It's shown that he makes it into the bathroom, an outhouse, or a bush each time he has an emergency.

No, but there is a moment where there is threat of a nuclear explosion and the villain is kept from trying to flee so he can "die for his country like a good soldier".

The whole movie is about the threat of nuclear holocaust. A nuclear missile is launched directly at a town full of people, who become scared for their lives. The bomb does go off but with only one casualty.
