No heads are squashed. However, a large wooden wall is knocked over onto a man and is then trampled over by horses. Death or degree of injury are unclear and no sounds are heard but he is pretty clearly “squashed”.

There are only two or three decapitations of orcs in this one (their blood is black, not red) and sight of mostly darkish red blood and wounds on more humanlike characters but no gore involving bones or organs aside from orcs' eyes getting shot with arrows (was that in this or just the later ones?).

No character is confirmed to have DID. There is no mentioning of trauma at all. As the other comments say, you could interpret that Gollum represents someone with DID(Gandalf explains that one part of Gollum hates himself and the other part likes himself). But the other comments also mention that this possible presentation is done quite good and accurate.

Not exactly suicide, but two separate characters stay behind to fight a battle they know they cannot win to give the other’s time to get away. Both are killed. One scene is quite extended.

Not explicitly, although many of the dwarves’ traits mirror antisemitic stereotypes (eg obsessed with wealth/treasure and power, short/stout bodies, large noses etc). Tolkien also drew inspiration from Hebrew to develop the dwarvish languages.

Arwen is the niece of Elros, Aragorn's half-elven ancestor who went to join the Numenoreans an extremely long time ago. However it states in the Silmarillion that a relationship involving people more distant than third cousins isn't considered incest by the Numenoreans.

It doesn't have a definitive ending because it continues onto the next two movies. The story in total has a happy ending, but Fellowship of the Ring has a semi-unhappy, cliffhanger-ish ending
