I'm not going to address the merits of any of the above, as I really can't get into legal advice, so please take this as simply some things to think about:

First, not all ethical violations are legal violations. You probably have a mix of things here. Consider what you want to raise, and who to raise it to, for each bullet. You may want to discuss with an attorney to decide whether any of these have merit line by line.

Most importantly, and especially if this is your employer, you absolutely should talk to your lawyer first before doing anything. I say your lawyer in the sense that if you do not have one, find one. Whether you're right or wrong, whenever you might stir up trouble for someone, you need to know what the blowback could be and your lawyer is the person to advise you on that.

I know I'm not really helping with your question head-on, because I really don't want to suggest who to raise ethical and/or corporate legal issues to - it's best to have that discussion with someone who is your attorney. I'd want anyone looking at this thread for similar reasons to get the same message.
