Steven jumps down elevator stairs at the beginning of the movie to receive insurance money. It's pretty comical and not graphic, you see him jump but not land.

For all intents and purposes yes, we see this play out. A character jumps off the roof, aiming for an enormous dumpster with soft looking garbage bags, but he misses and lands face down. There's even a blood smear on the pavement under his head. However this is a Jim Carrey movie, so Looney Tunes physics apply, and he survives with no noticeable impact.

MAJOR SPOILERS:
There’s two scenes, the first one is during the montage of Steven in prison right after we see him eating at a table. It lasts around 5-10 seconds.
The second one is during the second montage when he’s explaining how he faked having aids. It’s also right after we see him eating, and this one is more graphic and longer. It lasts around 15-20 seconds.

Yes, once. The protagonist golfs with his stuffy rich business boss. His boss tells him a joke with the word, which makes him visibly uncomfortable. This moment is meant to show him becoming disillusioned enough to justify stealing from the company.
