Ambiguous. At an emotional low point, a character makes a deliberate decision that he knows is certain to get himself killed, which it does.

Maybe? One character says he has an interest in prisoners ("They're my hobby,") and another character replies "Only the young ones, surely."

It's a plot point that one of the Communist spies is a Jew. Multiple characters make anti-semitic comments. Another character used to be a member of the Hitler Youth.

Maybe? The protagonist complains that another character is gay. His complaint is made to the second character's boss. It's not clear whether the character is actually gay or not, or if he is whether the boss knew about it already.

The protagonist heavily abuses alcohol, supposedly as part of a deception/scheme of pretending to be a potential defector, although it's ambiguous whether his alcoholism might be at least partially authentic. (And there's reality subtext given that the actor, Richard Burton, was a serious alcoholic himself.)
