2. I haven't seen any candidate 'attacking' another.

Unless attacking includes verbal criticism of past actions, policies, or plans.

3. Unfortunately some candidates seem to think that doesn't apply when the frontrunner is the target.

Why would we even want that? It’s a campaign for the right to challenge for the most powerful office on earth, not a safe space.

5. Why would we want that? Because the party has to unite behind the nominee.

Its personal attacks that are out. Just as some people disagree with medicare for all, others can disagree with 2005 bankrutcy act.

If the former is a bad idea then saying so is not an attack. If the latter was a bad idea then pointing that out is no an attack.

Some supporters are being to emotional.

9. You need to distinguish between DU rules and the ones for the candidates themselves

And, no, I am not aware of such an agreement. And, of course, if a candidate is a Democrat only when it is convenient, any rules do not apply.
