Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world's greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon's story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?

Penguin’s mom catches a rat in a trap. The rat is screaming a lot, implying fear or pain. Neither confirmed.

The trap sounds like one of those cruel snap traps, though when picked up, it is in the shape of a small house, similar to those humane traps.

We are never shown the rat, and it is still alive when mother shakes the box a little.

It's only implied, but Alice Tetch alludes to the fact that her brother, Jervis Tetch, had "thoughts no brother should have" about her. He also gets uncomfortably close to her while she's restrained, and touches her corpse while in a morgue.

Gordon, and to an extent his friend-cops, are very much "the only good cops in a precinct of bad cops" trope. However, Gordon regularly breaks laws to terrorize and intimidate citizens of Gotham. The framing on this is neutral to positive.
Given the difference between the actions and framing, it's unlikely to persuade anyone critical of policing that cops are actually good. Most critique of policing in the show is focused on how cops are effected by their job, though it does have moments.
Ultimately a Yes for me because it is a police procedural at the end of the day, and consumed completely uncritically Gordon makes at least 3 speeches per season about how cops are good.

3x03/3x04. Jim gets hypnotized and is compelled to try and kill himself three separate times against his will. He is made to try jumping off the edge of a building, walking out into oncoming traffic and to try holding a gun to his head. In 4x02, while hit with fear toxin he is also strongly encouraged to kill himself by slitting his wrist. He ultimately snaps out of it.

Relationships, no; however, a recurring character has feelings for his sister. They do not have a romantic relationship, and he is very abusive towards her; she actively wants him dead. Discussed mostly in Look Into My Eyes (S3E3), New Day Rising (S3E4), & Follow The White Rabbit (S3E6).
There are also some iffy comments between a brother and sister in the first half of season 2. Additional iffy moment in Prisoners (S2E16) when a woman tries to seduce her step-sibling (not reciprocated, incest framed as disgusting).
