Technically no, but there are some very disturbing scenes of standard slaughterhouse processes that could make some beef aficionados consider vegetarianism.

Most of the trafficked orphans are implied to be minors, although most of the actresses portraying them were adults.

This depends on what you consider "sad." Most of the heroic characters are unlikable goons not much morally superior to the villains. Some younger viewers might consider the ending to be problematic with unresolved social dilemmas which wasn't uncommon for films of that era.

Unsure. The main villain played by Gene Hackman prefers the name "Mary Anne" but it's unclear if this is a reference to sexual identification or done as an outdated attempt at humor. Some reviews of the film suggest there are hints in the film that Gene Hackman's character is gay, but I did not notice them.

One of the thugs asks for one of the women's dresses which gets a snicker from the mob boss, implying it's for him to wear.

Sissy Spacek's character is a teenager, Lee Marvin is in his late 40s, although he doesn't continue to take advantage of her after learning the extent of her situation.

Technically no but its implied that the orphanage grooming the human trafficking victims were likely involved with abducting them at a young age.

In a very minor way. One of the trafficked girls punches the woman selling the orphans into human trafficking.

It's shown that human remains are being mixed in with beef byproducts at the processing plant and sold for human consumption. There's another scene in which a character appears to be aware of this while he's eating it.
