1. You can send a legal notice and further you can ask wife that if she doesnot mend ways and continue behaving this way this is cruel to you and you can seek divorce on this ground.

Further in my view you should personally talk to her for corrective measures and keep record of same.

Your wife is torturing you for the last 7 8 years and hence you should try mediation and if you have had enough and don't want to live with her then file a divorce on grounds of cruelty and lack of parenting skills. Also she is causing problems and not allowing her daughter to go to school which itself is bad parenting.

1.  You cannot force her to have sex with her against her willingness, you can choose the option of divorce for non-cohabitation for a period over two years.

 

2. This is an internal dispute, if she acts in an unbecoming way, you may take necessary actions instead of initially  taking any action  legally.

 

3. You can find a solution to this only by separating from her and seek child custody.

 

4. The above answer suits this too.

 

5.  You can take her to a counselling session and get her counselled to see if she becomes alright or take a decision about continuing the marriage

I think instead of sending a legal notice to your wife it is better to take her to a marriage counselor or a psychiatrist your wife needs full session of marriage counseling and medication to correct her behaviour.

Otherwise she is ok and she is bit possessive

You can send her a notice stating that her aggressive and abusive behavior has caused you immense pain and you are unable to concentrate on your activities. Her acts are causing mental torture on you and if she does not mend her ways you will approach jurisdiction court seeking for dissolution of marriage.
