Refusal
"On topic" means to stay focused on whatever subject you were talking or writing about. Staying on topic means giving information that explains or clarifies the topic, and not changing the topic by giving information about something else instead.In this example, Mickey is obviously not what you were talking about, so whoever started talking about Mickey was changing the subject. The teacher was reminding you to keep talking about the main subject and not get distracted by another subject.
The use "agreeable with" means that the subject conforms with or is suitable to another subject. Example : "The policy is agreeable with public opinion." The use "agreeable to" names an individual or group as a subject, and indicates consent or agreement. Example : "The decision was agreeable to the stockholders."
Not really. The point of the expression is that the subject does not have it. Idioms must be repeated exactly; changing the words changes the meaning.
It depends how you are trying to use if your intended meaning is whatever or changing the subject then it is one word. But if you are talking about different ways it is two words.
The word averse means 'disliking (something); reluctant or unwilling (to do something)':'Very fair-skinned people are frequently averse to being too long in the sun.'; 'Some people are averse to buying things even when they need them; they are averse to spending money.'So, a decision taken wouldn't be described as averse, though you could say 'I'm averse to accepting the decision.'Other terms, including the word adverse, might better suit the idea you want to convey. Adverse means (an effect which is) negative, harmful, or against the best interests of (a person, event, and so on).For example, say you are playing a team sport and the decision is taken to change your position in the team to one in which you believe you don't perform as well. This decision could prove 'adverse to your performance'; that is, it might have a negative affect on the results you achieve.In the same way, if you are studying a subject and a decision is made to pair you for study with someone you don't get on well with, or to require you to attend lectures which mightn't be the best choice for your subject, that decision might also prove to be 'adverse to your performance'.Instead of using the word 'adverse' you could say 'I believe the decision taken is contrary to my best interests.', or 'I feel the decision taken will be harmful to my performance.', or you might ask, 'Do you think the decision taken could prove unfavorable to my performance?'.

Any noun, including the noun decision, can be a subject or an object. Nouns do not have different forms for case.

Subject of a clause: The selected candidate, a decision made by management, was a good one. Object of a verb: We made a decision to save our money and go next year. Object of a preposition: We are satisfied with our decision.
