Depends on the offense, and who placed the request for assistance . . .

The question here is one of jurisdiction, not physical but legal.
All laws have an opening section to them such as:
No person shall operate any vehicle... within this state, if, at the time of the operation, any of the following apply:
or
No person shall operate a motor vehicle... in and upon any street or highway
The first one you will note says "within this state" where the second only has "in and upon any street or highway". Meaning the first section applies anywhere in the state and the second is only on roads not private property.
So yes you can get a citation for a violation on private property as long as the section cited is for "within this state" or some other such language.

Yes, especially if they are called by a resident living on private property. My mother lives in a private community, but if someone calls about a car being illegally parked or whatever, the police can come and issue a citation.

Most malls are located inside a city jurisdiction that normally have ordinances in place to allow officers to issue traffic summons in a parking lot as you describe!
Best wishes!

Yes the police can, as they can enforce the law withing the city limits.
