Young Michael is beaten by his father when arriving home after his first performance, his brothers and mother do not intervene, despite finding it hard to watch. The scene ends when Michael hides in the bathroom.

In my opinion, not really. Michael continues to live and work with his abusive father, tolerating him. He breaks free near the movie's end by publicly announcing the victory tour is the last, which completely goes against his father's wishes.

No, though fans follow Michael around, and large crowds can be seen stationed outside whichever buildings he finds himself in.

Michael's addiction to Opiod Pain medication is adressed however not in a deep way, just as a little side chat between him and his Manager.

All animals are CGI and loved by Michael, their caretaker. Bubbles the Chimpanzee, who was rescued from animal testing, seems happy and cared for in the movie, though in real life it is irresponsible and unsafe to keep a single chimpanzee in a house.

Michael visits a plastic surgery clinic, and a doctor uses a pen to draw lines on his nose. He goes home with bandages but no graphic scenes of surgery.
There is a short scene of Michael visiting a hospital to speak with sick children.
Later he ends in the hospital himself, where his stay and interactions with the children is shown. After he is gifted a Mickey Mouse plush by John Branc, the hospital scene come to an end.

Flashing/strobe lights are frequent during performances. Unfortunately I do not have timestamps so here's a rough overview;
in the movie's beginning you will be met by a scene where Michael is about to preform, there will be a lot of flashing lights. The same scene will be repeated at the movie's end.
When Michael is preforming for a Pepsi advertisement, pyrotechnics are used and his hair catches fire, this scene contains a lot of flashing lights and bright colors.

There are small mentions of racism, like Michael's family struggling, and the mistreatment and marginalization of black people.
Kid Michael mentions having trouble making friends with kids his age, who simply stare and take photos, though this is likely caused by his fame.
Michael is told MTV refuses to air black artists, despite many attempts being made to have him on.
Aside from this, no black people and other racial minorities are mistreated on screen.
