An object that is projectile is an object that is moving through the air. When you throw an object it is projectile.
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.

Yes. Gravity acts downward on a projectile. That is why on Earth, objects eventually start to come down after throwing them, without the force of gravity acting downward the object would continue in a straight line forever.

No. Regardless of its initial speed, the object still experiences downward acceleration at the rate of 'G'.
well if you think about it free fall is just an object that falls down with no force besides gravity pushing on it. and projectile is also something or an object that has no force acting on it besides gravity. so there pretty alike. that is how they compare.

Here on Earth, the vertical acceleration of any projectile is -9.81ms-2. The minus sign shows that they accelerate downwards. This is true for an object dropped from a height, however the question refers to a projectile, which implies an object that has been launched by a mechanism. It thus has both a horizontal and a changing vertical acceleration in addition to the constant downward gravitational acceleration. A general solution can be found in the related link.
