No characteristics of a falling body appear on the list provided with the question.
The object in free fall is actually accelerating toward the earth, this acceleration is caused by gravity. So, yes gravity will be acting on a falling object and any object near the earth. It might help you to think of the same object on the other side of the earth falling up to remind you that it is the earth pulling on everything around it toward the centre. The phrase "free fall" is really misleading imoh.
When falling to the ground (or even just in the air), the acceleration of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the object it is falling towards. Here on earth, all things fall relative to the earth which causes an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2
An object that is slowing down is moving or in motion until it stops.It is not necessarily accelerating, as an accelerating object will begin traveling in the opposite direction after it stops. For example, a ball thrown into the air will slow down as the force of the earth's gravity causes it to accelerate downwards. For an instant, the ball will be motionless before moving towards the earth.

Free fall.

Any free falling object accelerates at towards the earth at 10 meters per second squared regardless of volume and mass. This is due to gravity.

Its forward motion. Please understand that something in orbit IS falling towards Earth.
