During post-credit sequence. Static image, small on screen, non-threatening.

(Spoilers for the Echoes of the Eye DLC) The player character is stalked in the "looking for you when you're hiding" sense but not in the "showing up at your home" sense

I'd say perhaps? it's possible to get crushed to death in a cave slowly filling with sand, if that counts

Very likely this will happen to you at least a few times, if you forget your suit or run out of oxygen.

If the player forgets to equip their suit in space, they will suffocate

It is overwhelmingly likely that this will happen to the player character many times. Also one character has a prosthetic foot and an off-screen backstory explaining how they lost the original

There are some stair-like structures in the game, and the player character can fall off them if the player is not being careful.

The player has a jet pack and can easily die from falling if they don't use it carefully.

there are children among the hearthian population that die each loop, and it is highly likely you'll stumble across (albeit long-dead) nomai childrens' skeletons, even in large amounts in at least one area

In the beginning of the game/tutorial, a young character lets the player use their toy model spaceship as practice. It's possible to destroy the model for an achievement but it's not acknowledged.

in the base game, the dark bramble anglerfish can jumpscare you. in the dlc, there are sections where you can be caught by a hostile alien race, which can be very frightening, though a reduced frights option makes this section less intense and the aliens far more easily avoidable

One planet is entirely covered by water and the only land on the planet is small floating islands. Other planets have large bodies of water as well.

A character (Tuff) is implied in text dialog to be made ill to the point of vomiting if the protagonist pursues particular dialogue options.

It's rare, but you can die in ways that involve unpleasant crunching noises. It's brief and fairly easy to avoid though.

Depending on dialogue choices, some characters suggest they might "ground" the player character for psychiatric reasons, but this never actually happens and there is no psychiatric jail anywhere in the game

Outer Wilds is low-key a horror game, and some elements of the sound design are meant to be unnerving, including hurricane-level winds, gasping for air, death rattles, bones breaking, and various pulsations

If Chert is told of the ultimate demise of the universe, they'll start panicking in their dialogue, but don't visually show any difference.

It is possible to be trapped in caverns in certain areas of the game. Some areas are also difficult to maneuver through and may give the player a sense of claustrophobia

Anglerfish can roar, and in the DLC, NPCs will make crowing noises.

Anglerfish suddenly roar when disturbed and NPCs in the DLC will crow when they notice you. There is an extremely loud, sudden cacophany of noise in the final ending sequence, described in more detail below:
.
.
.
After your jamboree around the campfire, when you jump into the ball of smoke, there will be a zoom-out to black. After a few seconds, you'll see a big flash of light and an explosion sound effect accompanied by loud, triumphant music.

In order to naturally beat the game, one of the important areas you need to reach is in the core of a planet made of water.

There are two possible ways to end a time loop that "destroys the fabric of spacetime," which causes the screen to appear to shatter and distort.

In addition to connortheknight's comment, it should be noted that while these deaths are off-screen and happen before the game begins, the characters did die violently

Not discussed but in the base game and dlc, some of the alien species "worshiped" or had shrines.

There's a pretty small, but crucial scene that plays directly after the credits. It may be different depending on certain choices/things you may or may not have discovered throughout your playthrough.
