Lots of cute Bugsnax get eaten alive.
*SPOILER* There are also mentions of Grumpus cannibalism occurring previously on Snaktooth Island.

As a part of a side quest, one of the characters wants to do an experiment where they decapitate their head. However they are stopped at the last second.

For Beffica’s quests, you need to stalk multiple Grumpuses to find out what they do in secret. You can skip these quests, but it’s not recommended.
*SPOILER* If you don’t complete all of Beffica’s quests before the climax, she may be killed by the Bugsnax swarm.

There are skeletons of dead Grumpuses scattered across the island, [[SPOILERS]] although it's unsure whether they're real or not.
There's also some Bugsnak corpses in Wambus' garden and Floofty's lab, with they latter having what appears to be blood on them.

Yes and no? This one is a little tricky. There is one character who throughout the game keeps various bugsnax as pets. Past the game's point of no return [[SPOILERS BEYOND]], when all the bugsnax go vicious and start attacking the grumpuses, the player can infer that these pet snax had to be killed in order for the grumpuses to get away.

There are piles of Bugsnak eyes found in boxes or trays, so make of that what you will. Eyes are, however, the only part of a Grumpus you cannot transform.

In a sense.
*SPOILER* As the game goes on, you find out the secret of Bugsnax, they’re addictive, and eating too many will cause a Grumpus to turn into Bugsnax, thus killing them. If you don’t complete their quests before the climax, any Grumpus except for Filbo can succumb to their urges and allow the stampede of Bugsnax to crawl into them, fully assimilating them into the island (which is entirely made of Bugsnax).

It's implied during one of the parties, the first one I think? The player (the journalist) is offered a Bugsnak to eat, and it's discovered that they are allergic to Bugsnax, as the screen fades out under a blobby sick looking overlay and you wake up at the outhouse.

While not due to any direct suicidality on the character's part, an ally character is willing to actively destroy parts of their own body for research, including not only severing a limb but even attempting to remove their own head. The latter is thwarted, but the former is not.

if you have really bad misophonia, the bugsnax might be annoying if you stay in one area for too long. they speak like pokemon (Repeating their own names) so if you think that might annoy you, i suggest turning the bugsnax voices off in settings.

I wouldn´t consider it suicide, but its certainly risking death. A character is more than ready to die for an experiment that seems rather overly dangerous than neccesary. it does not happen.

No, although a major character is obsessed with the 'Grumpinati', an obvious parody of the Illuminati. Some of the conspiracy theories associated with the Illuminati are antisemitic, although it's unlikely the creators knew this or had harmful intent. Otherwise, Jewish people are never discussed nor disparaged in this game.

Your character's vision can fade to black and you can be teleported to a different place if you walk too far into the ocean, but that's it. As long as you don't try to push the game's limits, that mechanic is relatively easy to avoid.
