Some positive elements are that it helps domestic consumers, firms and, workers. However, it could lead to inflation or an overall increase in price of products across all sectors. People may also end up paying higher taxes on goods.
The most obvious disadvantage is that it decreases efficiency.The most efficient producer is the one who can produce for the least cost. Subsidizing domestic industry shifts the production to a less efficient producer. The cost is ultimately borne by the taxpayers that fund the subsidy, leading to decreased purchasing power. Subsidizing domestic industries typically leads to a very short-term boost to the targeted industry, followed by a longer-lasting hardship by the economy as a whole. This is to say nothing of the negative effects on the foreign economy.
A second disadvantage is that protectionist actions often lead to retaliation-in-kind by the foreign government. This can severly harm domestic exports in totally unrelated industries, especially if a "trade war" continues to escalate.
The disadvantage of a government subsidizing domestic firms is that this move may discourage investment of the foreign firms which may have offered better services and employment opportunities.
Yes, the main disadvantage of a government placing tariffs on imported goods is increased cost and a possible retaliation tariff from the exporting country. Tariffs make the goods more expensive for the consumer.

There are several disadvantages to governments placing tariffs on imported goods. For example, countries may not want to import goods if they have to pay a tariff, and this process raises prices for consumers.
Tariffs on imported goods may cause economic problems. One problem is that it makes the price of imported goods for persons wishing to buy them more expensive. Another problem is that domestic industries protected by tariffs can over price their products to a level just below the price of the tariff stricken imported products. Additionally, protected domestic industries are less likely to invest in technology to make their products more efficient and less costly.
Tariffs on imports will raise the price of imported goods so that domestic substitutes can be cheaper. Import quotas allows a limited number of imported goods into the country. Trade embargoes is a extreme case where no imports are allowed.
