No, sorbitol is not a surfactant. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener and humectant in foods and personal care products. Surfactants are molecules that lower the surface tension between two substances.
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
Surfactant is pleural fluid.
Lava lamps typically use a surfactant called ethoxylated alcohol or a similar compound. Surfactants in lava lamps help to lower the surface tension of the liquids inside the lamp, allowing the colored wax blobs to move and flow more easily.
The main function or job of a surfactant is to reduce surface tension. This process is used on liquids while it dissolves.
Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own surfactant.
I have never heard the surfactant called anything specific. Full term babies usually have surfactant (a mixture of lipids (fats) and proteins). Premature babies many times do not have enough surfactant to keep the alveoli of their lungs open, so artificial surfactant is put into the trachea, sometimes more than once.

Washerfluid is a solution of alcohol and water with a surfactant added for cleaning action. The alcohol is typically methyl alcohol or methanol with some brands utilizing isopropol alochol is some portion. The freeze point of the washerfluid is different in various states and Canadian provinces. The strong stuff in Canada doesnt freeze until about -40oC (-40oF) and is flammable. The main goal is to get the washerfluid onto the windshield to clean. If it makes it through the little tube then it has done its job. Summer bug wash is just a water and surfactant mix and has no freeze protection.
The correct answer is Surfactant
Surfactant is when your mum produces something bad into the mouth of your daddy
