I can't be certain, but it's more likely than not. In the '60s, I believe they were still using real animals for the effect of dead animals.

No; however, parent-surrogates (two governesses and a valet treated as master of the house) are abusive.

This film maintains the ambiguity of Henry James's novella "The Turn of the Screw." The governess may be unwell or the ghosts may be real. It's unclear but certainly, this could be triggering for survivors of gaslighting.

There is the implication of past and present sexual abuse, as well as multiple scenes where the governess restrains and/or shakes and shouts at the children in her care.

Flora asks if turtles could swim. The governess tells her no and flora removes it from the water. It appears to still be alive.

Miles also rides the poney to hard and fast.

Miles and the governess are alone in the greenhouse and they argue. Miles throws the turtle. It doesn’t show the turtle or how hurt it might have been.

A spider has a butterfly caught in a web on-camera not long after the governess is introduced to the little girl, inside the greenhouse.

Open to interpretation if they're actually possessed, but that is the implication

This is a SPOILER The protagonist theorizes the two siblings are possessed by the ghosts of two lovers, so an implication might be there?

Implied, rather than depicted. However, there are kisses between an adult and a child that might be interpreted as CSA.
