I don't really enjoy seeing people being hurt but I do find it very interesting to see two men who are vetted by years of experience in different styles of martial art facing off. Maybe it's a symptom of my XY chromosomes or maybe just an appreciation of the art and graceful majesty that the human body is capable of. But regardless, I have been known to watch many UFC matches. So- in a metaphysical sense, how am I participating here?
you are participating in it in whatever form you are clicking with it. if you enjoy the competition, you are participating in amplification of the competition aspect. if you are enjoying the brutality, you are enforcing it. combination of all these determines the final nature of your participation. impossible to dissect and analyze them each all. but, the overall feel/nature of the thing should be what it really is.

you are amplifying, sharpening, strengthening that occurrence by your focus. just like anything else on this planet. as long as there are entities who want and pay their attention/focus to something, that thing will have a greater chance of happening where you are. or, if its happening, it will grow stronger. if it never happens where you are, it will happen somewhere else.

that depends on the nature of the film.

any action has time/space counterparts, and any time/space thought, feeling, occurrence has energetical counterparts.

no, its the very fundamentals of existence. concentrating on something makes it more real. it is also basis of creating, co-creation, white magic, the phenomenon in higher densities. (think something, it happens instantly).
