First of all, I want to point out that I'm not registered Republican and haven't voted for a Republican for any executive position for nearly two decades (last time was McCain, though I would've voted for Romney had I voted in 2012). Also, I have voted Republican for other positions very rarely in the last decade or so. In 2020, I voted for Biden because I thought Trump legitimately had a chance of losing my state (still carried it by ~20%), and I voted mostly Democrats for legislative seats this time around because I'm pissed at the gerrymandering my state did recently.
With that out of the way:
Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.
Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that's why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).
If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.
About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say "nothing in particular" (I guess that means areligious).
Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they're probably not going to be as vocal this term.
So if you're looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.
So yeah, there's a bunch of stats for you. I'm also guessing we'll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump's term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.
I could list specific politicians if that's what you're looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.
