It is mentioned that a man beat his wife; the character telling this story finds it funny.

Not as such, but there is one heavyset character who is described as "heavy" or "large" or almost every single time she's mentioned.

“the eaten one” is a title for the main character, a religious/ritual metaphor. She is fine, but this is a common name.

No; however, the main character goes without eating for a few days in order to give her food to someone else. It's mentioned that she is used to fasting occasionally as part of her ceremonial duties.

The ignorant white-skinned Kargs have offensive beliefs about the brown-skinned people of the Archipelago. They are said (a few times) to be "vile," "accursed," "black sorcerers," "black all over, with white eyes." The book makes it clear that these beliefs are ignorant and untrue.

Ambiguously. The main character's gods seem to have a hold on her mind, even to the point of altering her perception (a friend looks like a demon) and making her want to do violence to herself or others. Not clear whether it's a supernatural possession or just a mundane sort of brainwashing.
