In the confrontation scene on the piazza when Robert McCall is appearing from behind the columns and walking toward Vincent Quaranta one of McCall's two guns is empty (the slide is locked in the open/back position) and a moment later the slide is closed when he hands over the guns to Quaranta .
When McCall walks up the steps and meets the old lady walking down, from his perspective looking up, the lady is seen, but from her perspective looking down, the 2 meet around the corner that she is yet to meet (so should have been unseen).
After the initial confrontation, McCall sits and puts the Beretta to his head and you hear the gun click, indicating the hammer dropped and the gun is out of ammo. However, when that model (92f) is out of ammo, the slide locks back, contrary to that scene. After firing rounds, that pistol's hammer would be back ready to fire the next round, contrary to the scene showing the lowered hammer. Finally, for the gun to make the clicking sound indicating the hammer dropped and the gun is out of ammo, McCall would have had to have pulled the trigger, which he did not do. The sound was inserted in post-production to make the viewer believe McCall was not just contemplating suicide but attempted it.

Robert McCall was close friends with Susan Collins and her family and visited their home on occasions. He visited her father at Susan's wake. It is reasonable to expect that their daughter would have met Robert at some point.
The Camorra don't seem all that concerned about the raid on the vineyard cutting off the drug supply and losing all the money stashed at the villa.
At their meeting at the church, Emma says McCall is a "ghost", however, in the second movie, McCall is a know CIA officer killed by a bomb. The search Emma did with the CIA would have, at least, revealed his prior employment and death.
Emma Collins, a trained CIA agent, takes a photograph of McCall using a smartphone with the camera shutter sound effect still enabled.
McCall knows he has been shot from the back but wastes precious seconds and ammunition shooting in front of him.
