No. But the weight of that mass depends on the local gravity.
Gravity is a result of mass. Objects with twice the mass will have twice the gravity, assuming you are the same distance away.
Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved. Different objects attract each other, just because they have a certain amount of a property called "mass".Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved.

No, mass is a measure of how much matter there is. Weight is the measure of force of gravity acting on that mass. A rock has the same mass whether it's on Earth or the Moon or Jupiter, or floating out in space. The weight for each of these situations will be quite different.
The pull of gravity is affected by the amount of mass, and by the distance.
No. But the weight of that mass depends on the local gravity.
The greater the mass, the stronger the gravity, but the distance does not affect the amount of gravity.
No, gravity is a force of attraction acting between all objects that have mass.

More mass will result in more gravitational force.

All objects have gravity. The strength of that gravity is directly proportional to the object's mass. For most objects, their gravity is too weak for us to notice, but Earth has an enormous amount of mass and so has fairly strong gravity.
no. gravity acting on an object depends on the mass of each of the nearby objects. The solar system is not uniform in mass, so gravity is not uniform either.
The "amount of matter" is an informal description of the mass. The force in question is called gravity.
Gravity pulls everything down at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 .
Not accurately. Weight is a function of gravity acting on mass. Objects underground have gravity pulling them up as well as down.
