Height above the surface of a planet, moon etc is accompanied by a decrease in gravitational pull. But over something big, even the moon, the rate of decrease is so small that no matter how high you jump you will not notice any change, and for small objects like a space craft, gravity is so small you wouldn't even notice the gravity at all. Outside a body, the gravitational pull varies as the inverse square of the distance to its centre of mass. Provided it's not something weird like an infinitely long pole or something.

When you throw a basketball up in the air where does the gravitational pull of Earth affect it the most?
The gravitational pull affects it more or less uniformly. There are very, very slight differences caused by the height of the throw and the width of the ball but, compared to the distance from the centre of the earth, these distances are tiny and so have no effect.
What are the two factors that determine gravitational potential energy?
The two variables that determine gravitational potential energy are height above earths surface mass (also air resistance may come into play but in physics friction and air resistance are usually ignored and)
