Not only are there many predatory fish in the ocean, but as the story progresses, your character intercepts some garbled messages from one "agent" to another, which imply that they are hunting you.

A big piece of the lore is the mistreatment of the Sea Emperor. Though given they’re a sapient being I’m not sure if this counts as animal abuse

Adding to what Artsymess said: While the Cuddlefish can be killed, it has a lot of health and takes effort.

Various creatures throughout the game can be found with green pustules on their skin.
Later in the story after the player character reaches a certain location, the same green pustules appear on the PC's hands for a cutscene, but these can be covered by wearing gloves.

This can happen and it’s mentioned in the second game which proves canonically people have been fatally injured from dropping off of flying animals or falling off literal mountains. Which are both ways you can die in-game.

Some creatures (mostly the leviathans) can get close to you if you’re not careful and are very loud/aggressive. Warpers can teleport you to them. Also there is a scene where the sea emperor leviathan speaks to you telepathically with no warning.

There is no outright possession, but there is a fish that can hypnotise you, which forces you to slow down and stare at it. This can result in it killing you, or you drowning.

This one is probably based on the player's comfort levels, but there are a few small pods and ship corridors that might feel claustrophobic to some, so I'm voting yes just in case

not exactly, you can hit creatures with underwater vehicles, and you can potentially die from a glitch of getting out of the "seamoth" vehicle, running it into yourself and getting damaged. but aside from that, no.
