No, but you can choose to send away child-like chao when you are the closest thing they have to a parental figure. It's stated that they will live a happy life elsewhere.

Eggman threatens to kill Amy Rose if Sonic takes too long during the "Crazy Gadget" stage, and points a blaster at her in a cutscene. She is never actually physically harmed, though, regardless of what the player does.

quite a few moments where the anthropomorphic animal characters are sad, such as amy rose and miles "tails" prower in one scene (i will discuss what happens in the scene below the "!!SPOILERS!!") and shadow the hedgehog.
!!SPOILERS!!
the scene where tails and amy are sad is because sonic supposedly died. he doesn't, but they weren't aware

Some obstacles, including boss enemies, can crush your character. You will either lose rings or lose a life, but the depiction is your character flashing and then falling backward (i.e. no gore).

In the final cutscene, Shadow catches fire while descending to Earth; it's unclear whether he is still alive at this point, but I would guess so. This moment is brief and only takes up maybe 20 pixels on the screen, so nothing graphic.

As a matter of fact, the cops/military represented by G.U.N. are shown to be very corrupt and violent (framing Sonic for Shadow’s actions to conceal Shadow’s very existence, shooting and killing an innocent, terminally I’ll 12 year old girl, etc.)

No, although Maria is mentioned to be terminally ill with Neuro-Immuno Dificency Syndrome (NIDS), which was what led Gerald Robotnik to working on Project: Shadow in an attempt to develop a cure for her.

Not exactly, but similar. A character is shown having PTSD flashbacks a few different times throughout the game, which is a very intense moment and features sounds that sometimes come with anxiety or panic attacks (ie, heavy breathing)
