One of the vaults in the Compton's cookoff level depicts this in a very cartoony, non-descript way. The vault is just a collectable though and you don't even have to flip through the storybook-like images when you collect it.

You stalk a character in the very first level to figure out who their boss is. Later in the game, one of the interns stalks you trying to find dirt on you.

At the end of the game, if you speak to Agent Forsythe about the main antagonist she will let slip that she's considering giving them to Sasha Nein for experiments. When Raz calls her on how horrible this is, she says she never said "experiments," and that she said "therapy." When Raz tries to call her on it again she shuts him down saying "No one likes an argumentative pre-teen, Razputin."

Not in a serious, realistic sense.
The player character is 10 years old though, and definitely has to deal with a variety of villainous figures who would do harm to him.

While there is no blood, gore, or permanent damage, one of the characters finds themself stuck in some sort of press while brainless. It’s presented comedically, and other then the head squishing a little cartoon-ly, the press doesn’t seem to have the power to do any harm and simply retracts and tries again

Spoilerish: At the end of the Compton cooking show level, the boss battle features vomit as the primary attack of the boss. Unfortunately there's no way to avoid it as you cannot progress the story without finishing the boss battle.
The visuals aren't particularly realistic, however I've noticed a number of streamers find the boss battle to be pretty gross and they don't even seem to be emetophobic. It's hard for me to tell how triggering this boss battle would be to someone sensitive to this subject matter.

No, but there is something sort of adjacent.
Psychic powers don’t seem to be intended as a metaphor for queer identity, but there is a lot of overlap that makes it easy to see it that way in some situations. While Raz talks with his family, there are some dialogue options that will make Raz attempt to “out” his sister Frazie as a psychic. If this is said to Raz’s father, he’ll remind Raz that that information is for Frazie to share with them when she’s ready - not him.

Most characters are mentally ill or struggle mentally, so it's not stereotyping, but some of them do engage in violence. The extent varies character to character, from slapping or pushing to (in the most extreme case) mass murder.
