The deal is still being negotiated, when its done we will be able to see it when Congress votes on it. There is nothing unusual about this level of secrecy.
Warren is a politician she is saying what her anti-trade base wants to hear.
First and most importantly, the TPP is not done. Everything you cite is speculation based on drafts proposed by one party or another.
It puts "fair use" laws at risk

It creates incentives for ISPs to police the internet
The EFF didn't bother to quote the original document and I didn't find that language when I skimmed it, so I'm going to say that is also not true.
the same level of sovereignty as entire countries
Now we are back at the start, wiki-leaks is saying, without evidence, that the TPP will cause bad things to happen that haven't happened with previous ISDS clauses. We have those clauses now and corporations don't "the same level of sovereignty as entire countries" so there is no reason to think adding Japan will cause that.
You mean 4 years after it passes?
That is for the draft documents only, not the finished treaty that congress will have to pass. Again this is standard for international negotiations, they don't want draft documents to come out right when the final version because that would confuse people. If people have an actual objection they should state it instead of being intentionally dense and claiming something that says one thing means another.
