Mohn disappeared suddenly, leaving Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine alone. This is believed to be the result of a magic accident.

A parent is implied to have been physically abusive to his son, and the son is implied to have hit him back and run away. Nothing is ever shown.

No one is canonically addicted to real drugs, but parallels can be drawn between the antagonist's behavior and real life addiction, and it's mentioned that she's on mind-altering substances later in the game.

Pokemon can faint, but not actually die. It's easy to get attached to your own Pokemon like their pets. If you're doing a nuzlocke however, you *do* have to treat fainting in battle like death.

Technically, but you're not likely to see one. The only snake-like Pokemon available without transferring are Gyarados, Milotic, Dratini and Dragonair (which evolve into Dragonite, who looks more like a traditional western dragon), and Zygarde, which requires a long sidequest to obtain. The Ultra Sun and Moon games do have Ekans as a common encounter early, though

Sharpedo is in the game, and you get it as a ride Pokémon. I don't think you can avoid using it, even tho Lapras is also an option.

Technically. There are moves like Wrap, Bind, Fire Spin, and Constrict that constantly do damage and keep a pokemon from fleeing or swapping out, but it isn't graphic and you don't see the pokemon being restrained

A staple of the Pokémon series is that you use animals to battle one-another. They do faint, but they are never fatally injured.

The move Gastro Acid is described like this in its text description. The animation shows a purple splattering substance.
Also, Pyukumuku's English name is a reference to this.

Sorta? The post game does have the characters of Looker and Anabel, who are portrayed as allies to the player, and even earlier in the game there is Officer Nanu, who isn't a bad guy, but isn't the nicest of the characters either.

There are animations and certain cutscenes that shake the camera, and no setting to reduce/turn off the effect IIRC.

The ending is... not that happy. The plot follows a girl trying to face her abusive mother. The story concludes with her mother nearly dying, and the girl resolving to care for her in her illness. It doesn't end well for either of them.
