The beginning starts with the brutal murder of Payne's wife and baby. The murder isn't shown, but we hear the mother scream and the baby cry. Afterward, you see the dead bodies.

The main character hallucinates killing his wife, though it is left purposefully vague if this ever happened.

Drug abusers are the reason the main character's wife and child are death. So drug (ab)use plays a significant role in the narrative during the early stages.

In early stages of the game there are junkies high on V, spouting some insane babble. They are not enemies.

In a gag, that's easily missed in part 1, you can throw a grenade into a hole (subway level) If you return to the hole, a group of rats armed with guns will shoot the player and you can kill the rats.

No. But sometimes there are enemy NPCs in unexpected places that can surprise the player. But it's not meant as a typical jumpscare.

In the prologue of part 3 (Take Me to Cold Steel) Max wakes up after being drugged and he narrates that he was lying in his own puke. The vomit isn't very visible due to the low quality comic panel. You do hear him puke though.

Arguably -- the main character is a detective that disregards procedure and kills suspects in order to solve a case important to him. However, he isn't explicitly portrayed as a heroic figure and doubt is frequently raised regarding his sanity/morality.

The nightmare levels may be considered to be claustrophobic. There are a few levels where the player has to navigate narrow, short corridors and hallways.

No, however there is a gameplay mechanic called bullet-time, where time slows down. It's very much the opposite of shakey cam.

No, but in the beginning of chapter 1, Max Payne visits a sleazy hotel where it's implied that it's a brothel. There a posters of sexy women in underwear hanging on the walls. There are love beds and if you push the button, the bed will vibrate. There are supposedly porn magazines spread in several rooms too. However, due to the low-poly graphics, nothing is really explicit.
There's a comic cutscene where it's hinted that a sex worker was giving a man a blowjob.

Big blood spurts whenever characters are shot, for the most part. No internal gore.
