The first shot of the movie involves a parent contemplating stabbing an infant. The hallucination sequence involves flashbacks to the male main character being abused as a child, as well as a female child in what looks like a dominatrix outfit.

Voting yes to be safe, I'm not actually sure if the animal is a pet. But it's a breed of rabbit that's usually kept as pets, not a wild type

Towards the later part of the movie, there is a sad scene with a rabbit. It's pretty fast but does involve gore.

The premise of the movie involves sex work. Also, during the hallucination sequence there's some sort of sexual thing going on with the male main character and his mother. There's also a child in what looks like a dominatrix outfit. I honestly couldn't understand what was happening so I can't guarantee I'm not missing something more explicit

A married man hires a prostitute for reasons other than sex; his wife knows about it and why he's doing it and seems to be weirdly supportive of his plan? (as seen in a phone call the husband makes to his wife)
So wife being ok with it = not cheating
So wife being ok with it = not cheating

Technically no. It is mentioned that a character is going to shower, and she turns on the water, but she does not shower. She sits on the edge of the bath and stabs herself.

In addition to sound effects with the actual gore, there is a sequence where a character imagines performing violence and we hear exaggerated gory sound effects even though no violence is really happening

Not really, but both characters are at various points suggested that they might not care if the other person kills them. They both have the option to leave the dangerous situation and choose not to. But neither of them harm themselves except in non-fatal ways
