It isn't ever shown, but it's mentioned how the main character's late mother was in an abusive relationship in her past.

Several, at various points. One character is in the hospital after being arrested in season 1. Multiple characters are in the hospital for several episodes at the beginning of season 2 after a car crash.

(spoilers) In season 2, episodes 12-15, Wilhelmina's sister, Renee, is revealed to have some unspecified mental illness for which she takes medication. She had previously committed arson which resulted in her lover's death. When her medication is switched out for fakes, she becomes violent and sets another fire which almost results in another death. No one dies but she's presumed to be institutionalized afterwards

No, although there's a brief storyline for a couple episodes in season 2 where someone finds out they're adopted and there's a possibility they're related to a former partner, which turns out to not be the case.

The show begins after a prominent figure at the magazine dies in a car crash. The car is shown afterwards, but not the crash itself. At the end of season 1, there's a nonfatal car crash that puts two main characters in the hospital. You see the lead-up to the crash, but not the crash itself (although you do hear it). And again in season 3, ep 8, you see and hear the lead-up to and aftermath of a car crash, not the crash itself, but no one is hurt.

Yes, several times throughout the show. For example, in the season 1 finale, a major character is shot and killed during a robbery.
