1)The White Council generally consider non-consensual mind magic to be corruptive to the user and the used.
However. Whether or not they consider specific instances to be a violation, or what form of violation, is very much a "it depends".
This is just my speculation, but I have doubts that every wizard who got mindscrewed by Peabody gave consent, or could give consent to mental examination and treatment.
Note that it appears to be entirely legal to use such magic on non-mortals. As long as the Council does not currently have you on probation, that is.
Furthermore, see Dresden when Mab went into his head and removed all memory of fire magic in Small Favor to save him from Summer's hitters; he was terrified of his vulnerability, but he didnt appear to equate it with magical rape. Similarly, when he ordered Bob to forget his time with Kemmler in Dead Beat, he didnt consider that to be a violation of Bob's personhood.
Or when he attempted to make that lawyer forget getting mindscrewed by Madison Raith in Turn Coat; it was very much an act of mercy, and allowed by White Council rules, but it was as nonconsensual as Molly geasing Rosie and Nelson into forswearing drug abuse for their own good.

2)That appears to depend on what kind of mental intervention happened.
Dresden's subconscious kept dropping hints to people around him after Mab whammied him that something was off.
Luccio's did not. The Senior Council and the junior Wardens never even noticed they were adjusted.

3)With regards to Molly in particular? Not to minimize the severity of what she did, but intentions do matter.
None of this was to Molly's benefit. She gained no personal benefit from acting.
She could very much have turned her back and walked away when persuasion didnt work, and had reason to; Rose slept with her then boyfriend when both of them were under the influence of drugs, and thats where the pregnancy is from.
Most friendships would have ended at the sleeping with boyfriend bit, without getting as far as "Im pregnant now, and still using drugs".
At her first meeting with Dresden, Rosie makes it clear she wants to stop. She may be under no obligation to show gratitutde, but its an entirely valid response for Rosanna Marcella to go "thank you" instead of "fuck you" and genuinely mean it, instead of doing it because Molly's her only independent lifeline.
Its also entirely plausible for her to go "fuck you" and cut Molly out of her life, of course.

The themes seemed to be more along the "path to hell and good intentions" theme, a motif that's repeated in the same book with her mother Charity's plotline with regards to Molly.
That said?
Im still an advocate of remembering we have unfinished business with her ex Nelson.
And the other survivor of the Splattercon attack.
I dont agree. But I'll shelve it for the moment.
Thank you for the citation.
Second point still stands; Usum is extrapolating from his experience with other creatures, and knows nothing about naagloshii in particular.
This certainly wont come back as an issue in the future at all.
Wikipedia suggests Bachelors Grove was used as a cemetery since at least 1838, with the last known burial being 1989.
Minimum hundred and fifty years of ghosts spanning two centuries, most of whom would have had radically different ideas of both funeral custom and celebrations.
Do as you will.

QUESTION
Does Rosie's mother know who the father of the child is?
Did she just assume its the dead boyfriend?
Doesnt wamt to know the details? Or did she ask and Rosie lied about it?
Because somehow, her behavior doesnt strike me as someone who knows that her daughter is pregnant from sleeping with her best friend's then boyfriend.
