There wasn't much violence about slavery in 1850, only a lot of verbal disagreement.
The 1850 Compromise heightened the tension, through the unpopularity of the Fugitive Slave Act, and the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as an angry protest against it.
Bloodshed followed from the next compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and tensions rose further with the Dred Scott verdict (declaring slavery legal in every state of the Union), the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the John Brown rebellion.
By then, war was on its way.

The Crittenden Compromise. Lincoln rejected it because it could have allowed some extension of slavery.
The Dred Scott Case completely nullified the Missouri Compromise. It ruled that slavery was protected under the 5th Amendment because slaves were property. The verdict was that slavery could not be outlawed in any territory.
No. It was a compromise in the Congress to work out problems between some states as to which side they were on. People could not decide on their own to own slaves. Some people in the South didn't want slavery.
The Compromise of 1850 allowed California to be admitted to the Union as a free state on September 9, 1850. The Utah Territory and the New Mexico Territory were formed by the Compromise of 1850 and these two territories could permit or prohibit slavery as a local option (popular sovereignty).
Slavery was not something you could half-abolish.

The Compromise of 1850 offered the Fugitive slave act to supporters of slavery. This meant that if a slave ran away he could be caught by his owner.
The Missouri Compromise itself (1820). Also the very last compromise attempted before the outbreak of war (Crittenden) proposed that the Missouri Line could be re-established and extended all the way to the Pacific. It was this compromise that Lincoln rejected, because it could have allowed some extension of slavery.
It's a matter of opinion, but I think not. Unlike other states, residents of Kansas were fairly evenly divided on the issue of slavery and determined to fight it out.
Kentucky senator John J. Crittenden proposed a compromise that could have stopped the Civil War. It allowed slavery in the southern states while making it completely illegal in the northern states.
The factor used to decide whether an area could be open to slavery under the Missouri Compromise was its geographical location. This compromise established a line at latitude 36°30' where slavery would be permitted south of the line and prohibited north of it, with the exception of Missouri.
Deal with slavery. They could not agree on how to change or end it, so they did nothing.
Lincoln rejected it because it could have allowed some extension of slavery.
