There’s a joke where Michael’s dad is mentioned to have pretended to throw the ball, but hid it behind his back instead. Micheal is clearly upset about this and is quite angry towards his (fictional) father. David Tennant mentions they do that with his dog Myrtle and calls him “simple”

Not quite, but one of the characters starts drinking very early in the day as a coping mechanism.

Season 2 Episode 7: 4:51-5:02, it’s mostly audio so you can just mute until you see a black screen but we can see the character lean over to v*, nothing explicit though.

No, but someone is taken to hospital offscreen and this is described in conversation. It's a somber moment, but it later turns out that they recovered fine.

I don’t believe any of these actors are publicly diagnosed as Autistic, even if they where this is a scripted event playing off the actors as caricatures of themselves. One exception for the autism diagnosis is David Tennant who mentioned possibly being on the spectrum a while ago in an article by GG magazine, however this may have been a passing joke made by him and not meant to be taken to mean he is literally Autistic.
The direct quote is;
"I talked to the producer [about changing the credits to say “The Doctor” instead of “David Tennant”]. Obviously, I've got enough Asperger's syndrome kicking around that I had to get that particular box ticked. It wasn't contractual. I wasn't going to the wall on it.”
However, the actors or characters so not need to be autistic to be abused for having autistic or neurodivergent traits. David and Michael often get into arguments over misunderstandings or minutiae of wording/phrases.

There's some mild mocking of OCD-like symptoms.
