You could. But it's much more natural to use the word 'style' here.
WOULD IT MEAN THE SAME THING AS
-Because of my love for fashion, the style of the shirt that I should be wearing is slim fit.
You could say this too. The causality between you loving fashion and what you should wear is not clear. It would probably be better to say "because I follow fashion".
2. immaculate
-Because of her hard work, she was able to make write/receive (? unclear) an immaculate sales report.
You could say this but it sounds slightly strange to me.
WOULD IT MEAN THE SAME THING AS
- Because of her hard work, she was able to make write/receive (? unclear) a perfect sales report.
I prefer this version.
3. Rational
- Because of the loss of her dog, she could not think rationally.
Yes.
WOULD IT MEAN THE SAME THING AS
- Because of the loss of her dog, she could not think reasonably.
No. Someone who's unreasonable is not being fair. Someone who's irrational is not being logical.
WOULD IT MEAN THE SAME THING AS
- Because of the loss of her dog, she could not think logically.
Yes.
4. competence

Yes.

Yes. Here competence = competency.
WOULD IT MEAN THE SAME THING AS
- Because of I did not perform well during the interview for (with?) a the company, they began to question my ability to do well for the company.
Sounds repetitive. I would rephrase the part in purple.
