Yes, it is true

Sadly, no matter how long or how intently I keep my gaze fixed above, I seem to be unable to make out either the objects or the forces acting on them.
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.
Because the forces are acting on two different objects

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.
Because they are acting on different objects.

All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
Yes, gravity is constantly acting on all objects even when they are at rest.
If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).
that are equal and in opposite directions
When the forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out and the result is no change in its motion.Balanced forces have no effect on motion. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.
They can't. The vector sum of equal and opposite forces is zero, and they can't produce any acceleration at all.
because it is in equilibrium
