The movie includes an inspiration porn theme that disabled people can do anything if they just try, and if they can't, it's because they're not trying hard enough--not because they're disabled in an inaccessible world. This theme doesn't ruin the movie but it gets quite bad in the message they intend to send in a certain scene where a previously weak-willed wheelchair user flings himself from his wheelchair to drag himself up the stairs.

No, but worth noting that during an argument, Vincent grabs Irene and prevents her from leaving, even though she says "Don't touch me!"

There is a scene where Vincent's father belittles Vincent's dream of becoming a pilot, and says he'll only amount to a janitor. Certainly, Vincent feels that his parents never supported him, and always favored his brother. Whether it amounts to abuse is open to interpretation IMO.

The society discounts personal drive as a factor of success, instead relying on genetic code to assess ability.
The main storyline is about an assumed identity, which overlaps with gaslighting.

Eugene could be interpreted as queer-coded, but he is not explicitly stated to be attracted to men. He does, however, attempt suicide before the events of the film and actually commits suicide in the end.

Disabled people are seen as inferior and not able to contribute to society (as with Jerome, who was ostracized after becoming paralyzed). There is also genetic modification to make people less likely to have genetic diseases and in general whiter (lighter skin, blue eyes, straight/wavy hair, etc).
