Are high RPMs bad for 2000 eclipse gt?

If you do not reach the read zone in your RPM scale, you are fine. Just make sure that you are using a good coolant and thermostat. I would even use low opening temperature thermostat if you like to drive with high RPMs often.

Why is my car accelerating by itself?

You did't provide the year/make/model/engine, but...The throttle cable/ throttle spring can be faulty/sticking. Another possibility is there is an air leak, after the throttle blades that is allowing the engine rpms to be high at idle. You can check vacuum line to the intake manifold for damage or the AIC (air idle control valve) for being stuck open.
