In order to retrieve Labels from Office 365 into MCAS, you need to configure Unified Labeling in Azure Information Protection. Once enabled, you would be able to satisfy use cases 1 and 4. For use case 4, I recommend to first setup a file policy in monitoring mode to understand how many SharePoint and OneDrive files will need the Internal Use Label before setting the governance action.
For use cases 2 and 3 you can use the native Office365 DLP where you are able to create and publish Office365 sensitivity labels to SharePoint sites / document libraries. By creating a label in the console you can then automatically apply a label by again enabling Unified Labeling with AIP.

Hi Anisha Gupta
I'm not getting it. My understanding is that the Sensitivity labels and Sensitivity Label policies allows you to define a default label based on the users to which you apply the policy. Not based on the location of the files. So I don't understand how this would work for case #2 and case #3.
I believe that you could use MCAS to apply the specific labels to all files and folders that are in a a selected library using the governance options.
