Yes 90% of the time otherwise it might try to defend itself so when you are leading horse the best thing to do is stand near its shoulder so if get scared from behind, it won't trample you!

A horses first instinct when fearful is almost always to flee first and ask questions later. In some cases though the horse is attack, but that is not common.
its first instinct is usually to flee from that person but depends how scared it is if its not that scared it will just bite

Well, I own a horse and what i know is that they back up or bite. Sometimes they run to safety.
Well it depends on what instinct. I will guess you mean in a dangerous situation for a horse. If there is a frightening event a domesticated horse will usually gallop to their home, or most likely, the barn. That is very dangerous, especially if the barn has caught fire. But for a wild horse their first instinct is usually to run away.
The horse would most likely flee. That is what they are made for. In other smaller cases though, a horse might fight. For example it might stomp on a snake instead of run away.
