Acceleration as a concept was not discovered by a single individual, but it was first formally described by Sir Isaac Newton in his laws of motion. Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Gravity was discovered long before Newton was around. Newton just postulated gravities relationships with acceleration and mass.
Uniform (or constant) acceleration means that the acceleration doesn't change over time.
Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
"Uniform acceleration" means that acceleration doesn't change over time - usually for a fairly short time that you are considering. This is the case, for example, when an object drops under Earth's gravity - and air resistance is insignificant. "Non-uniform acceleration", of course, means that acceleration does change over time.
The value for acceleration of gravity was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th century. He determined that the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.

There is no such thing as a "Law of Acceleration", at least, not in the sense of a commonly accepted physical law. There is a definition of acceleration as the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: a = dv/dt). Then, there are several formulae that relate acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity, time, etc. Perhaps you are referring to Newton's Second Law, which also involves acceleration (a = F/m, that is, acceleration = force divided by mass).
From the 1940's until about 2000 when dark energy (or rather the acceleration of expansion) was discovered.
It is a property which was discovered by Newton. In it a thing gains speed automatically while it is being put in effort from a ramp, or thrown from height. It get it's speed from gravity.(Gravity has three properties, one is acceleration).
The person who discovered the existence of galaxies outside of the milky way was Edwin Hubble. He also discovered that galaxies move away from each other with a constant acceleration, leading to the big bang theory.

Galileo Galilei is credited with discovering the difference between velocity and acceleration. He is known for his pioneering work in the field of kinematics, which laid the foundation for the modern understanding of motion.

No, radial acceleration and centripetal acceleration are not the same. Radial acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circle, while centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.
