It depends on WHY you're praying, not the actual prayer itself. Coming from a purely hateful or fearful place, yes. If it is out of love and compassion, then no.

That is correct. Desiring harm on others or yourself is a sin.
"I see" said the blind man. I was unaware of certain particulars, but I believe asking God to take this person into Heaven may not actually be a sin. Though, as I sit here typing this, I seem to sense that it would be wrong...Like (1)

Straight up yes it is does not the Bible say something about committing sin i.e. adultery in your mind murder is also a sin so .................... Prayer is putting thoughts into words in your mind so sin BIG TIME.

Yes. The 'Wish Police' can come and arrest you and do unspeakable things to you in unspeakable places if you pray for such a thing.
