Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Unless the responding officers were lazy, yes a report would be made. Uninvited people entering your hom when you are not present is criminal. Depending on AZ law, it would likely be a form or trespass or burglary. Depending on the circumstances and evidence available, probable cause may or may not exist for the officer(s) to make an immediate arrest.
In the third incident, did the victim make an actual report over the phone? Many callers start to report something, then decide they don't want a report. Reports for many not-in-progress calls can be taken by an officer over the phone depending on department policies. Depending on how you want your story to run, you might want to make it obvious to the reader what the victim chose to do. Was he/she frightened and insisted on a report? Were they largely unconcerned and minimized the event?
I hope this helps.
I'm not sure what you mean by "rural area of the city." If you mean out in the country somewhere, how far would you expect to drive to find a lit area? Don't expect a trooper to follow you for miles just to look for a well lit area.
If you are in a city, you should probably pull into a parking lot/gas station whenever available to begin with.
You can ask an officer anything, but he/she doesn't have to agree to honor your request.
Unethical behavior is not acceptable under any circumstances.
Generally, you cannot/will not be prosecuted if you once possessed/used a drug. So, I personally would not worry about talking to the police about having ordered it in the past.
Is this a company that is public about their sales (i.e. they advertise in High Times, etc)? If so, I doubt you need to tell any law enforcement agency about it. I think most High Times subscriptions go to police stations and drug units.
If the company is located in another state or country where the substance is legal don't expect that law enforcement can do much about it.
If you really want to stay anonymous, call one of the "tip lines" for the DEA, FBI or local police department.
Just from my own observations, the synthetic stuff is far worse than the natural stuff. It is more akin to a crazy mix of meth and PCP than MJ.

For specific questions of law, you should contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.
It depends on what state the story happens in. Murder is a state level offense in most cases, so there is no real uniformity from state to state. In many states, a life term with some opportunity for parole later in life is the maximum sentence.
Online fraud cases are pretty easy to trace and prove, even when people use VPNs, proxies, etc. Offline fraud is even easier. Don't expect me to tell you how.
