Bleeding Gums and Wudu
Your ablution (wudu) would be nullified if redness preponderated in your saliva. The sign of which is if you were to spit, the redness of the blood would predominate over your saliva. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]

Pain which accompanies the exiting of water from the eyes is not the actual determinant in nullification of wudu. Rather, as the scholars clarify, the nullification of wudu is determined by the water exiting because of an illness or disease, and pain is generally an indication of that. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Based on this, the tears resulting from onion fumes does not break the wudu, even if one feels stinging or pain.

I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
No, dabbing and clearing away such blood is not considered “flow” and would not affect the ruling.
According to the Hanafi school, blood which flows (beyond the point of exit) [1] actually or [2] effectively (such that it would have flowed had it not been wiped/absorbed away) invalidates the ablution (wudu). [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah; `Ala al-Din `Abidin, al-Hadiyya al-`Ala’iyya]
And Allah alone gives success.

Yes, one’s under garments are included in that which must be clean before initiating one’s prayer.
However, up to 5cm in diameter of liquid filth on one’s body or clothing would be excused. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah; `Ala al-Din `Abidin, al-Hadiyya al-`Ala’iyya]

What Should I Do About Left Over Drops Of Urine?
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) stated in a rigorously authenticated hadith, as narrated by Bukhari, that, “the religion is ease and none shall make the religion hard except that it will defeat him. So, be moderate, do the best you can…” The opposite of moderation is excessiveness, and excessiveness often arises out of neglect of the prophetic sunna, either due to one’s unawareness of it or not understanding and sufficing with its application.

According to the Hanafi school, it is a confirmed sunna to wash each foot three times. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah; `Ala al-Din `Abidin, al-Hadiyya al-`Ala’iyya]
When using a large jug/container of water, depending on its size, one may be able to wash one’s foot thrice with a single scoop. This is achieved by pouring, then rubbing; pouring, then rubbing and so on. Wastefulness is blameworthy and one should be wary of this.
Washing under a tap would be akin to continual washing. One simply washes the foot three times and has fulfilled one’s duty. There is no need to remove one’s foot from under the tap and then put it back. This is excessiveness and uncalled for.
And Allah knows best.

No, breaking wind does not necessitate istinja.
It is a sunnah to perform istinja to remove filth which is less than approximately 5cm in diameter. On the exiting of wind, no such filth exits, therefore, one would not perform istinja.
Furthermore, such wind is not filthy, according to the soundest opinion in the school, and doing istinja because of it would be considered an innovation (bid`ah).
