The moving object is slowing down.
Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions. -- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.

This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
It slow down, and eventually reverse direction.
Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.

Of course. A car with brakes applied and slowing down has forward velocity and rearward acceleration.
Yes, it is possible. For example, if you through an object up, its velocity would initially be in the "up" direction, but its acceleration would be in the "down" direction.

yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
Anytime an object is slowing down, its acceleration is in the opposite direction to its velocity.
Both velocity and acceleration of vectors because their magnitude is dependent on their direction. For example a velocity of 6 ft/s is different from a velocity of -6ft/s because they are in opposite directions. Like wise, an acceleration of 9.8 ft/s^2 indicates an increase in velocity while -9.8 ft/s^2 indicates a decrease in velocity.
Take the velocity to be in positive direction. Positive acceleration increases velocity and they are in the same direction. Negative acceleration reduce velocity and they are in opposite direction. It does not matter if the motion in linear or anfular.
Yes, velocity and acceleration can point in the opposite direction to each other. This is because neither one depends on the other. When velocity and acceleration are opposite each other this results in slowing down, for example when you hit the break on your car.
