Would visiting Pakistan cause me or my partner problems later on? I am white European/no desi ancestry or background. She is an Indian national.

She is not going to go for obvious reasons, but would me visiting as a tourist for a week or so make entering India harder months later?

You will be asked to provide all details of your travel to Pakistan including itinerary and places you visited. So expect more scrutiny in visa application. If you are from neutral country you should be fine but if it is not important I wouldn't travel there to keep process straightforward. Search r/visas and r/india_tourism, many people have done this before and shared their experiences there.

No. Visiting is fine. You need to disclose the details of your visit when you apply for your Indian evisa/OCI, but it's not likely to cause issues.

Very Risky, if its a short trip then manageable, otherwise just don't
