Yes. Without going into the general theory of relativity, the further you are way from a mass, the less gravitational force is present. (law of inverse squares)

Yes:

The more distant you are from the planet the lower the gravity is.

Climbing a mountain or riding in an airplane does this to but the change is so small that it is not measurable.

How does height affect potential energy and kinetic energy?

Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
