The movie is about time passing at different rates of times. Logically yes the dog must have died at some point in his timeline, but it's not shown on screen.
No, but taking a boy (of about 12?), who can't drive, to a remote place and leaving him outside alone while you go into a dangerous cave where you could easily fall to your death or get helplessly stuck, thus risking leaving the boy to fend for himself indefinitely, is wildly irresponsible. And the boy is, indeed, left alone, scared and trapped by the remoteness for days because the people responsible for him don't come back - which leads to him being seriously harmed.
Not exactly abused, but taking your dog to a remote place and leaving it outside while you go into a dangerous cave where you could easily fall to your death or get helplessly stuck, thus risking leaving the dog to fend for itself indefinitely, isn't exactly considerate.
A number of smallish spiders are seen (rather briefly and not up close) scuttling around on the cave walls/ceiling when the young people first enter the cave. A boy reacts in fear, apparently starting to panic, but he immediately calms down when another character tells him they're just crickets (or something). They ARE spiders, though.

Several characters are slowly strangled with sci-fi contraptions that add a strange, unidentifiable technological effect that seems to make the suffering worse.
Yes and no. Several characters are slowly strangled with sci-fi contraptions that add a strange, unidentifiable technological effect that seems to make the suffering worse. This is apparently only done in defence, to incapacitate them, but it's clearly torture from their perspective.
