1. Death before baptism:
Again, I don't think this is dogmatized, but I think you are on the right track, the Law is written on our hearts. Who will be saved is not for me to say, only God judges righteously. Sorry if that seems like a copout.

I am very sorry to hear that you experienced racism and insults from other people, that is of course not a good thing. What happenend to you is wrong and I will not justify it, but Orthodox people are still people and we are not perfect. When it comes to racism and nationalism there is actually a heresy called phyletism:
"We renounce, censure and condemn phyletism, that is racial discrimination, ethnic feuds, hatreds and dissensions within the Church of Christ, as contrary to the teaching of the Gospel and the holy canons of our blessed fathers which “support the holy Church and the entire Christian world, embellish it and lead it to divine godliness.”
I will say that the vast majority of Orthodox people I have met in real life are kind, loving people. The fruits of living in an Orthodox way are clear in the lives of the saints. Unfortunately, people online feel more empowered to say all kinds of terrible things. Again, I am sorry for the abuse you have suffered. Here is something St. Porphyrios said about this topic, I think it is quite heplful:

I think this interpretation of the Church being our bodies is something more modern? I never really heard something like this before. I am more familiar with a Protestant understanding that the Church is invisible and it is all the collective believers on earth or something along those lines.
The Church is physical, it is the visible Body of Christ on earth. It is the image of the Heavenly Kingdom here on earth. This video from Fr. Josiah Trenham touches on a lot of the things you brought up

For Eucharist, I think the prayer before/after communing can help to understand how we view the Sacraments: https://www.oca.org/orthodoxy/prayers/before-and-after-holy-communion
I hope this at least answers some of your questions, I know I probably missed a lot of stuff. I am only a simple layman and not really equipped for this kind of thing. Talk with Orthodox and Roman Catholic priests, go to Divine Liturgy and Mass, read lives of the saints of both. I think you will find Orthodoxy has the fullness of the faith. Roman Catholicism has a lot of failings unfortunately.
