No. But there's a scene in which a woman holding a knife or sword says to a man who was previously disguised as a woman: "Come any closer, and you really WILL be a woman!", thus implying that being a woman equals having no penis/testicles.

It's necessary abandonment. A mother gives her baby to a midwife to hide so it's not killed by an evil queen. The midwife then puts the baby on a floating bed of reeds? and pushes it down river to keep it safe from capture/death.

Nothing ever actually happens to the baby. She is periodically kidnapped, but always cared for by whoever has her. At the climax of the film there is a ritual which is supposed to eventually harm her, but it never gets that far.

There's something called "black root" which could be interpreted as a drug, or it could just be a snack that's not very healthy. There's also a sort of powdered love potion. It's supposed to be magic but it could seem like a drug.

From the opening of the movie I thought that babies were being killed, but what we actually see happening is that babies who don't have the mark are left alone. There is a baby who is in danger, but it's fairly obvious that this is not the kind of movie where she is going to actually get hurt.

Early on in the movie, a heroic elderly female character, whom we haven't gotten to know well at all, is mauled to death (seen from afar, not graphic) by dog-like creatures. A secondary male character is wounded in battle and has a brief, somewhat moving death scene. The extremely evil main antagonist dies rather spectacularly. The rest of the human deaths are extras in battle scenes, I believe.

A baby spits up white milk on someone's face.
And during a chase scene, the horse carriage is going crazily fast and bumpy, and one of the small guys (I think they're called brownies) is bending over the side acting like he's going to be sick, puffing up his cheeks and kinda heaving ( no sound is heard because of the noisy chase going on) but it never shows him actually vomit. Just looks like he's going to, then cuts away.

The movie includes many little people or people with dwarfism and they are often called the in cannon slur of "peck". It is mostly uplifting towards them though and I did read it was the largest gathering of little people ever (at the time at least) for filming the village scene.

Yes, but between actors, not between characters (it's neither super-duper obvious nor addressed in-universe): Warwick Davis was around 17 when the movie was made, and the woman who played Willow's wife was around 30. The most intimate physical interaction between their characters is a quick kiss on the mouth, lips closed.
