Wondering if there is any restriction about how far the lav sink drain pipe can go into the p-trap. I saw some posts about minimum it would need to go (not an issue, it seems) but can I bottom the drain pipe right into the trap? Does that present any issues? Thanks.

Fixture outlet pipe can be up to 4'. There is no minimum.
Yes, the pipe leaving the sink and entering the trap. That's called your fixture outlet pipe. And it can be 4 FEET....you indicated inches.
' = feet. " = inches
Hope that helps

For clarity sakes, the pic is an attempt to describe what I am asking. Specifically, the drain pipe from the sink (grey colour) and how far it can go into the trap. Can it go all the way to the bottom? I'm thinking that if there's water in the trap this steel drain pipe sitting in the water may present a problem in the future.
Ohhh I'm sorry. I get you now.
There's no code for this, but yellow brass ptraps are fairly common and last a long time in trap water. If your brass tail piece is submerged in the water a little I can't see it being a big issue
