I would say no, not explicitly, but SPOILERS BELOW:
The main antagonist is a woman who was persecuted and burned alive for witchcraft.

Not explicitly, but a few characters act as if they KNEW they were being stalked, such as looking behind them in fear or calling out. The cinematography also heavily implies it. The person doing the persecuting is partly shown in the first murder, pretty early in the movie, and the second instance with the blind pianist they're not shown at all.

I would say by the definition given, yes. But this is a 70's arthouse horror movie where every death is a spectacle and exaggerated.

Main character throws a towel over a bat and kills it with a stool. Plenty of time to prepare though: look away and mute after she throws the towel on it, and then count about a minute, you should be good then.

No, but one of the murders has imagery reminiscent of rape. (A woman has her head forcibly grabbed, then is stabbed multiple times including while lying on the floor while her body convulses. Then there's a close up of her exposed heart being stabbed which is a close up of a knife going through a red, fleshy hole & could look like another type of penetration. And finally you see her hanging with lines of blood running down her legs)
So no, she is not sexually assaulted, but it may still look like it/be triggering. Starts at 10:45, lasts a few minutes

There is a character who is hung after being stabbed early on in the movie. It is not suicide but can the visual could be upsetting if you know someone who died by suicide via hanging.

This is a more subtle thing, but the walls of the witches' lair have a lot of Hebrew painted on them. This is related to antisemitic stereotypes about Jewish women, as well as the apppropriation of Hebrew by midcentury occultism.
