Absolutely. Graphically. Animals being impaled, burned alive, slit their throats. If this is a major trigger of course wouldn't recommend this film at all

A soldier in power armor is trampled underfoot by a large alien animal during a battle scene, the canopy of the cockpit they operate in is crushed in the process. It's a quick and bloodless scene but it's implied that he's killed in the moment.

Not exactly cheating. Two people are destined to marry (the Na’vi equivalent of, anyway) but one falls in love with another before this happens. The other feels and displays feelings of betrayal.

The Avatars are genetically-engineered Navi-Human hybrids that are mentally controlled by humans using special technology, but the Avatars themselves supposedly have no mind or consciousness of their own.

The scene where the gigantic tree and many surrounding Navi are destroyed was allegedly based on 9/11 but as it’s not a building nor in a city YMMV.

The main character, Jake, was a veteran and was paralyzed during his service. So there is no explicit ptsd, but it can be inferred.

This is a hard one. The main character mentions he's not hindered by his inability to walk. But later in the movie he's more used to his Na'vi body than his "real" one and it causes him distress.

Not exactly but! white humans control Na'vi avatar bodies which clearly look different than their human bodies. The Na'vi, although alien, are clearly inspired/based off multiple IRL Native American groups.
Later, Jake is able to transfer his consciousness/soul into a Na'vi body. Movie also leans heavily into the white saviour trope by Jake saving all Na'vi from the bad humans. He also gets the title of Toruk Makto, something not many Na'vi get to claim.

The same physical connection that equates a sexual relationship between Na’vi is made between many Na’vi and the wildlife of Pandora. This isn’t for the same purposes and isn’t portrayed as bestiality whatsoever.
