There's a scene where Paul and (his mother) Jessica are sheltering in a tent. Paul has a vision of the future that distresses him. Jessica reaches out to comfort him, but Paul SCREAMS at her to get away from him, leaving her shocked and almost cowering.

Aside from the comment on the child abuse entry, Paul's mother hassles him during breakfast and makes him practice his magic powers before being allowed to have a glass of water. In the same scene, he lies when she asks about something he's been struggling with, and waits to open up to a different character later. (Someone he clearly sees as a more caring mentor.)
Note: A nice subversion is when Paul shares a moment of self-doubt about his future, and his father promises to be loving and supportive instead of controlling.

Only tangentially. Jessica is a member of an order that manipulates people from the shadows. This frustrates both her partner and their son to not be told the whole truth and not always know when they're being manipulated. I did not notice any overt/textbook gaslighting where she responds to a character's concerns by causing them to feel that their mind is unreliable.

No. There is a brief vision of a possible future where this happens, but "the abused" is horrified by the thought of becoming an abuser, and so he takes deliberate steps to avoid that future.

Yes, but no visuals except a character holding up a fake tooth that has yet to be inserted. (SPOILERY DETAILS: Out of nowhere, an incapacitated character is approached by a doctor and told that he will immediately have a tooth extracted and replaced with a fake which contains poison gas. The doctor holds up the fake tooth, and then the scene ends. Several scenes later, the character bites down hard to spring the trap, and the sound effect is, I would say moderate. Not loud or gruesome, but very solid and very...toothy sounding.)

Typical Dune orientalism and white savior narrative, leans heavily on MENA culture for its world but has no MENA actors. Almost every POC dies. Harkonnen’s predatory nature is toned down but there’s still a scene where he has a male prisoner stripped and it’s implied this was for his pleasure so he’s still the predatory gay trope. You could also argue that they erased his sexuality aside from this scene but it’s debatable since he only ever expresses his sexuality predatorily in the book and Lynch film. Harkonnen is also a fatphobic portrayal, his weight conflated with his eating and grotesque nature and the actor wearing a fat suit to portray him.

Actors no. Jessica/Leto actors are only 4 years apart. Paul/Chani actors are only one year apart, and Paul's actor is actually the older one.

Not technically.....but Harkonnen culture is dramatically sadistic and has a lot of unnecessarily kinky elements. They dress like they're in a goth techno band. The Baron conducts a strategy meeting while fully nude. A prisoner is stripped nude. A medical attendant wears a translucent plastic outfit. (Honorable mention to the Sardaukar for chaining dozens of mostly nude people to stone blocks and draining their blood into basins for a ritual.)

No.
1. When Duke Leto sheds tears over fearing his lover and son are dead, nobody comments. (Even though most of the people in the room are currently trying to ridicule and humiliate him.)
2. When Paul mourns his father, Jessica comforts him.

No, not in the sense of someone living in a stable society without having a permanent home. We do see characters lose their home to violence, grieve the loss of their old life, and journey to another city to seek asylum.

There are recurring shots of a knife covered in blood and dripping, and of a hand covered in blood and dripping. Early in the movie there is a shot of dead bodies with faint traces of stale blood around them. Overall there is no real gore scene, and whenever a sword kills someone the camera moves away.

Blade fighting is prominent. There are several throat cutting finishing moves which are focused on but not very close up -- and further blurred by holographic sci fi gadgetry that is the "personal shield."

There is also the unsettling but vague cinematic suggestion of cannibalism in a "bad guy does horrible things" scene. The main villain is sitting at the head of a long table eating a large meal. At the other end of the table, slumped in a chair, is his prisoner who has been stripped naked. No actual threat is made to the prisoner.
