Emotional abuse (such as telling a child he's stupid) and lying (covering up when a child goes missing), not gaslighting. It's serious but it's pretty straightforward and obvious, it's not particularly manipulative.

I would argue that yes a main character dies despite the minimal screen time. I consider Sam a main character in the flashbacks for Kate Barlow's life, which are a very important informational piece in the movie.

One character is said to be an orphan and another has a missing parent, but no deaths of parents are shown or discussed. Some of the kids are pretty convinced their parents don't care about them, though (with good reason, as far as we know).

Not literally crying, but a joke is made of one adult character being sensitive. He's pretty awful to kids so in context, them making fun of him is justified (it's "punching up").
