Anne consistently cuts herself. The protagonist Gemma sees her scars, but doesn't see her in the act of cutting. We do see Anne in the act of holding her hand over a fire, though.

No, but pretty much any time a fat character appears in the narrative, there is a disparaging comment made about them, whether out loud or in the protagonist's internal monologue

Multiple instances of hate speech against Romani people. They are only referred to as the slur g*psies throughout the book. Some characters refer to them as riffraff and say they should be cleared out.
