Before Newton, the concept was completely non-existent.
Newton invented the whole idea, gave it the name "gravitation", created the formulas that
give it numbers, invented calculus in order to investigate how gravitation behaves, and
eventually showed ... on paper ... that the whole system he had developed predicts exactly
what we see the moon and all the planets doing in the sky.
Issac Newton's contribution was Law of Gravity, Action/Reaction and Calculus
His major contribution was the discovery of the principle of gravity on Earth and on other celestial bodies.
Newton's mathematical contribution is the mathematical law of Gravity and the calculus. F=mGM/r2, is introduced mathematical physics, modern physics.
Cavendish's famous experiment led to a measured value for G, the universal constant of gravity.

He discovered gravity kind of.
The law doesn't affect gravity; it describes it.
Gravity
He took many measurements regarding the Orbits of planets which Keplar then used to formulate his 3 laws. This eventually was part of the prompting for Newtons law of gravity.
yes, since newtons law
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
