Perhaps not physically, but given that Victor and Elizabeth are adopted siblings are their parents force them to marry each other and raise them constantly telling them they have to, I'm gonna go with a yikes at the very least.

Victor could also be considered an abusive parent, depending on how you interpret the novel.

The creature is made from various corpses' body parts. There isn't much detail given, but the idea is textbook body horror.

Not in the ableist-slur way.
I think I remember it being used in it's older use as "slow", "late" or "delayed" when referring to travelling.

They are either ghosts or hallucinations (of people the main character lost).
They are not haunting, nor explicit, nor a significant part of the story.

Victor Frankenstein is put in a mental institution at some point in the last third of the book because people don't believe him about the monster. His stay there isn't described in detail.

While he does not directly state intention to kill himself, Victor often makes plans that he expects to end in his death, and often idealizes about his own death as a means to end his suffering.

Standard European disdain for all things not well-bred upper-class northern European. "chink" is used somewhat frequently in the 11th chapter, although it is used to mean a crack/chip rather than as a slur

Victor's parents had a very large age gap, but they are not the focus of the story and as such, the age gap is mostly irrelevant.

In the 1818 text, Victor and Elizabeth are straight up cousins, so they're 100% incestuous.
In the 1831 text, they're adopted siblings and raised together from a young age, have the same parents legally and emotionally (even if not biologically), and still refer to each other as "cousin." So it's not like, 100% incest, but it's still pretty gross if you're triggered by it.

No, but Victor seems to be constantly sick and/or frail somehow, so that could be seen as somewhat similar.
