Carrie Fisher's character is following Jake and trying to kill him. Various other parties are chasing the Blues Brothers throughout the movie.

No but it's implied that the nun in charge of the orphanage probably hits kids with her ruler.

Not in the film, but apparently during the production of it everyone was on cocaine to the point that they actually worked cocaine into the budget

There's implied heavy alcohol usage in the film by the band and patrons of a bar over one night, but it's not played seriously.

Off-screen implied. A building blows up and various major characters crawl out of the rubble seemingly completely unhurt, but it's logical to infer that not everyone made it.

Mild. Jake sits down in a chair with a desk attached and has to squeeze himself into it. Later he gets stuck in the desk and falls down the stairs while in it.

A group of Nazis are antagonists in this movie, and one scene lingers on a rally they are holding which features very explicit antisemitic statements.

Somewhat relevant: The brothers sing "stand by your man," and they add some choreography where they awkwardly point to themselves whenever they say "man." The overall tone of the scene is that they feel dysphoric singing the lyrics, but it's one of the only country songs they know.

Nazi rhetoric is said on screen by antagonists, to the anger of a crowd.

There are many car crashes during the final chase sequence. This is entirely played for laughs, and no injuries are shown.
