I think your questions might be better posted in the actual discussion thread but i try nonetheless to answer as far as i can:
1. There is more behind those scenes than just suppressing family ties. Love, inhibition and corruption also influence which scenes you can get.
2. Style is mostly connected to everything Charisma-based. So your basic Charisma plus Charisma powers/upgrades you get.
3. Have to pass on this regarding actual values but it is intentional that you are either a badass or a good boy
4. Mental illness can help to make certain states like obsessive 'permanent'.
5. Might be connected to alignment values but i am not certain about that part
6. Her corruption and inhibition are key again
7. Instead of reporting people during neighborhood watch you can try to confront them which leads to fighting them. Powers and their level, as well as your basic stats, will influence combat outcome heavily.
8. pass on that
