Friction
No, force is not always needed to slow down an object. In cases where there is friction or air resistance, these forces can naturally slow down an object without the need for external force. For example, a ball rolling on a table will slow down due to the friction between the ball and the table surface.
Sliding friction requires more force to overcome its friction.
Sliding Friction
You can move a trolley with a magnetic force (e.g. use magnets to draw the trolley away from it's original position - assuming it is made of a magnetic material), a gravitional force (e.g. rolling the trolley down a ramp) or with an applied force (e.g. pushing the trolley).

Yes, the speed of a ball rolling down a ramp can change with the type of surface it is rolling on due to factors such as friction. A smoother surface will likely have less friction, allowing the ball to roll faster, while a rough surface will create more friction, slowing the ball down.
