Hopper's behavior towards Atta comes off as such, but they're not actually a couple.

I mean, yeah, the movie is literally called "A Bug's Life". There are bugs of many different kinds. None of them are very scary, however.

A grasshopper's antenna is accidentally amputated, but it is not traumatic to the character.

Hopper has a blinded eye, apparently from being damaged by a bird (though we don't see this, there is a reference to it). To frighten Hopper, many bugs put red jam on their eyes to make it seem like the bird gouged them out (and in a bloopers scene, Slim mentions it getting in his eye and stinging).

Some of the characters are circus performers, and do the clown's part, but without any makeup.

Yes, but only in the bloopers during the credits. It's humerous.

A few people have interpreted the role of the grasshoppers and particularly their speech as representing the “new world order” conspiracy theory but it’s not likely or explicit.

Not explicitly, however there are no humans in the film suggesting some to theorize that it takes place after a nuclear holocaust. There is no evidence for this in the film however.
