More like bright in a one-Among-Us-guy range and still visible at 6 Among-Us guys range. The area outside my window under a 73% waxing gibbous is darker than that, and this photo is from me deliberately trying to keep my camera from activating "Night Mode":
It doesn't do so in the game and having higher reactions doesn't matter if you can't see the attack. Even if he can somehow dodge an attack from behind, he won't be able to return fire immediately.
No.

Keep in mind, this is 73% illumination (a full moon is 100% illumination). The moonlight from a full moon would only be slightly brighter than this and Pico shot a cigarette under that level of darkness.
Nope. All the death animations only appear for the victim. Others just see Impostor moving really fast, the victim's head vanishing, and they also hear a slash sound. The same applies with the gun kill. Despite how loud a gun is, cremates and other impostors can't hear it no matter how close they are to the scene.

Explain how they're able to see things behind them then.
That just sounds like game mechanics to make sure nobody knows what’s happening and to save time making animations happen in the map. The screens clearly show what’s happening, so we know things go down that way. So I think once the laser is fired, Pico will be able to see the room illuminating plus hear the sound of the laser behind him and avoid it.Nope. All the death animations only appear for the victim.

This is how reactions work. Pico can only perform a single swift motion in a moment aka dodging. To shoot right after dodging, he needs combat speed which will allow him to perform multiple motions in that moment. Impostor's laser is also wide and hot enough to vaporize his bullets.Reactions and Perceptions
In fiction, movement over long distances and movement over short distances - which can be dubbed "combat distances" - tend to be remarkably different for different characters, resulting in serious discrepancies when considering their overall speed. On this wiki, we therefore differentiate...

Like you said, it's clearly intentional to showcase how Impostor can kill someone without alerting others thus it's not a game mechanic. The laser and gun might be quiet but only the victim can hear them because it'll be weird if they don't hear anything, same with the stabbing sounds for the knife kill. Game mechanics would be something like Impostor dying to terminal velocity which doesn't make sense given their AP is too big for that to be possible.
How do they miss? You do know that Impostor can just fire the laser again right after, yeah? What's too unlikely? Did you actually read what I wrote about the difference between reactions and combat speed?
Definitely not lights. If you play the game, you'll know that they aren't glowing.
Or it’s them blitzing since Crewmates are only Average Human which makes the most sense since that would explain nobody seeing or hearing what’s happening while the animation plays. But Pico’s reactions are fast enough to perceive the laser from a distance and move away.
Just because something is much faster than you doesn't mean others can't hear it because it's still producing sound nonetheless, unless it's silent of course.
Yes, that is exactly what making multiple movements mean. He has to perceive and make a movement to dodge an attack that is 2.43x faster than him (assuming he can even do that with his back turned) than he has to perceive where the source of the attack is and raise his arm to fire.
What do you mean "raise his arm"? Impostor's laser comes from its visor. All it has to do is look at Pico.
I argued that crewmates can't see in 360° vision and have to use other senses like hearing to locate people who are out of their line of sight. You argued that either their eyes adjust to see in the dark or they have lights that glow in the dark to let them see which have nothing to do with seeing things behind them.
I don’t think the laser is silent. It plays a sound in the animation. It’s easier to believe the sound just passes by too fast to be perceived by Average Human’s, it’s not like lightning where it’s supercharging the air. It just flies, disintegrates someone, and leaves in a flash.
