While reality isn't actually unstable in the game world, the protagonist spends both DLC's dealing with a head injury, leading to hallucinations. The first DLC specifically has many combat sections that are played through his hallucinations

The player can hit female NPC's with melee weapons, but the only scripted instance of this is a boss fight, so it's just self-defense at that point

While the dogs were modeled and textured after Vince Desi's real dog Champ, the gore textures appear to be the same
ones used for human characters. And the real Champ is dead, he died in 2011. So I doubt Desi harmed Champ for any assets in game.

In the beginning scene, the main character, Postal Dude, kicks his dog in the stomach after seeing it had peed on the ground. It whimpers and runs away but is relatively fine after.
You can also use cats as gun suppressors, but it is an optional thing and not forced upon the player.

But both DLC's force the player into scripted boss fights that requires them killing a character

Despite the no's, it is implied that the protagonist shot himself at the end of Friday. It is not shown on screen however, and the weekday cutscene blacks out with the gunshot. You can also harm yourself (the protagonist, specifically) in-game with cacti, falling down from a tall height, lighting yourself on fire (and not extinguishing yourself), etc.

It's never called D.I.D. but the DLC includes Postal 3 Dude as an alternate personality/voice in the Postal 2 Dude's head. He is called Alter Dude in the subtitles. He speaks for the Postal Dude a few times and can sometimes taunt him or the player by commenting on their actions in game or giving them hints. [DLC SPOILERS...] He eventually escapes from P2 Dude's head and has his own physical form and then he disappears from reality at the end.
