When people escape from the plantations, they are chased and searched by others. There is a scene where someone spots a group of escapees and follows them, and even monitors them from a tree.

A gun gets shot out of a character's hand. It looks like he probably lost a finger or 2.

The "spitting" the other person mentioned at minute 26 is actually coughing up water. Regular spitting happens later, the slave owner spits on the ground a couple of times in an insulting way, but you don't actually see the spit.

At one point in the beginning, Harriet says she'd rather throw herself off a bridge than be a slave again.

No, but during someone's escape, they jump off a bridge, expecting to die as a result. They survive the jump, though.

The film takes place in America during a time when slavery was practised, and the main theme of the film is escaping slavery. The word is used casually.

Sortof? It is rumored that Harriet is actually a "white man in blackface" by those who have heard of her.
