A conditional relative for persons — 'whoever does X' — setting up a rule whose result comes later. It is the noun 'inna' governs, and it gathers anyone the condition fits.

And whoever fights so that the word of God is supreme and is killed is a martyr,
وَمَن And whoever
'And' plus the conditional 'whoever', opening a second parallel rule. It is the topic whose deed and reward the clause lays out.

And whoever gives charity seeking thereby the pleasure of God is righteous.
وَمَن And whoever
'And' plus conditional 'whoever', the third parallel rule. Topic of the deed-and-reward that follows.

مَنْ who
This is a relative-like pronoun meaning 'someone who' or 'one who', used for people. It stands as the object of the entrusting verb and opens a clause describing what that appointed one does.
أَنَّ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَظَائِمِ
is that whoever commits something of these major sins
مَنِ whoever
A condition word, 'whoever', opening an 'if anyone...' frame and serving as the subject of the verb after it. It sets up a general case whose ruling follows.
وقسر بقهره من تكبر وتعاتى،
And He subdued by His might those who acted arrogantly and insolently,
مَن those who
This is the relative-style word 'whoever / those who', used for people, which here serves as the object of the subduing and opens a clause describing them. Arabic uses this one word to mean 'the kind of person who...', so what follows names the trait of those subdued.
فَمن اتَّقى الشُّبُهَات اسْتَبْرَأَ لعرضه وَدينه
Whoever avoids the ambiguous matters clears himself regarding his religion and honor.
فَمَنِ so whoever
Two pieces are fused here: a connector that ties this whole sentence to the one before as its consequence, plus 'whoever', a conditional word that sets up an if-then. It opens a general rule: it does not name a specific person, it covers anyone at all who does the action that follows, and the answer-half of the condition comes later in the sentence.
وَمن وَقع فِي الشُّبُهَات وَقع فِي الْحَرَام
And whoever falls into the ambiguous matters falls into the unlawful.
مَن whoever
A conditional word meaning 'whoever', opening an open-ended rule about any person who meets the coming condition. It is not asking a question; it sets up an if-then whose answer arrives later in the sentence.

مَن who

مَن who
A relative-conditional word, 'who', owned by 'every' before it ('everyone who') and launching a clause about that person. It refers to any unnamed individual fitting the description that follows.
ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيًّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عُمَرُ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ السَّائِلُ؟
Then he departed, and I stayed for a long period. Then he said: 'O Umar, do you know who the questioner was?'
مَنِ who
A question word 'who' introducing an embedded question, 'who the questioner was'. It works here as the leading element of a noun-clause that serves as the object of 'do you know'. It opens an indirect question rather than standing alone.
وأجمعوا على أن من جحد منه حرفا مما أجمع عليه أو زاد حرفا لم يقرأ به أحد وهو عالم بذلك فهو كافر
