No, but a female character is physically restrained by her boyfriend several times, and in the sequels there is emotional abuse like him trying to control who she talks to.

The vampires arguably gaslight a lot of people through deception, but Edward is particularly insistent when Bella becomes suspicious of his behaviour. He repeatedly tells her that she is remembering things wrong.

Not in the timeline of the story, but in a character’s backstory they were in an abusive mental institution, seemingly starting in childhood.

It depends on whether or not you consider vampires to be cannibals. I can see arguments for both sides of that.
