I concur with the wife slapping the mentally ill husband. That would constitute as domestic violence 100%

No--it's worth noting that the main conflict of the movie is the main character trying to decide whether he is mentally ill or whether he is having prophetic visions. Not surprisingly, the people in his life tend towards the former--but they're not unjustified or malicious in doing so.

Lots of jumpscares in the main character's bad dreams. Sudden unexpected dog attack. Somebody busts out a window and grabs the little girl. Somebody is suddenly standing in the window.

It's the scene just after he hallucinates thunder for the first time, while at work. He rushes away from his coworker in a panic, and then you see him vomit into the back of his pickup truck. You see stuff come out of his mouth.

Later, there's a scene where his wife wakes up to him convulsing in bed, and he's hunched over and spitting up blood. That may be triggering also.

Absolutely, but it's a short scene. They take the little girl into the hospital for a CT scan (or MRI) required for a future surgery.

It happens near the beginning of the movie when he's sitting in a car at night, drinking a final beer with his buddy after a night out. You can skip the scene without it affecting your understanding the movie.
