There is no problem. See the comment by @BabyDragon above.

Note that the integrand satisfies $f(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = -f(\frac{\pi}{2}+x)$ over the range of integration, so the answer is zero.

Regarding the last remark, note that for sufficiently smooth $f,u$, we have $$ \int_{u(a)}^{u(b)} f(x) dx = \int_a^b f(u(t))u'(t) dt$$

With $a=0$, $b=1$, $f(x) = x$, and $u(t) = t^2-t$, this will result in

$$\int_0^0x dx = \int_0^1 (t^2-t)(2t-1)dt = 0$$

In particular, note how the change of variables affects the integration bounds.

There is no problem. See the comment by @BabyDragon above.

The problem is that $\sin$There is not injective over the range of integrationno problem. You need to splitSee the integral into $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$ and $\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^\pi$comment by $BabyDragon above.

Note that the integrand satisfies $f(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = -f(\frac{\pi}{2}+x)$ over the range of integration, so the answer is zero. However, you do need to exercise care when the substitution is not injective.
