As in the novel, Heathcliff hangs up little dog Fanny. She is left on a fence dangling by her collar, struggling to get down. This behavior is mimicked by young Hareton later in the film, who hangs another dog off a tree branch.

First scene is a hanging where a person is choking slowly, it‘s a relatively long scene (1-2 mins) and the hanging is the main focus

I wouldn't say either are explicitly sexualized, but there are some extended shots of Cathy and Heathcliff playing, wrestling, and pulling hair as children that come across as sensual.

In a broader sense I guess Heathcliff was kidnapped by Cathy‘s dad when he brings him ”home“/”adopts“ him

It is left to the viewer to interpret whether it is actually a ghost, or someone's wishful thinking, or something else. The images are very brief and unclear.

In this version, Heathcliff is black. Other characters call him by racial slurs more than once, and use other dehumanising language.

Technically no, but main characters that have a sexual relationship could be seen as siblings although they’re not actually related
