I wouldn't really say stalked, but Forrest is always trying to find Jenny. Not in a bad way though.

Very briefly. Jenny is grabbed off stage and she struggles to get out of Forrest's arms. It's about 5 seconds long.

No, but there's a scene kind of similar to this in which a man who is wheelchair-bound is unable to stop the chair from rolling down a ramp, and it is implied that he crashes.

The gag mentioned is NOT graphic and it’s more like a gasp. He seems to be more uncomfortable than anything. Instead of gagging, he says, “oh, oh, oh!” But if you don’t like that, just fast forward through the scene when Jenny sits on the bed with Forrest in her white underwear. They’re at her college when this happens.

Some people argue that Forrest is autistic while some people argue that he's not so I don't know. However the r-slur and other words are thrown at him throughout the movie and he's bullied

Easy to miss, but there's a scene where Forrest is running past a herd of cows, and there are a few staring at the camera lol. Nothing more than that, as far as I could tell.

A racist guy that Forrest talks to uses the word during the Alabama scene where people are fighting for desegregation of a school. He also uses the word "coon", which Forrest believes refers to raccoons, but which is another racist slur against black people.
