Pointed towards the ground
Yes, but only at one instant. For instance, if you throw an object straight up, when it reaches the highest point its instantaneous speed is zero, but of course its speed is changing - thus, acceleration is non-zero.
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
When the stone reaches its highest point, earth's gravity ensures it has to come down.
The acceleration is still 9.8 m/s2 but the force applied by gravity is counteracted by the ground.
Yes, whenever it reaches its highest point in the air
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.

When a pendulum reaches its maximum elongation the velocity is zero and the acceleration is maximum
The acceleration is still 9.8 m/s2 but the force applied by gravity is counteracted by the ground.
It is 4.4 feet per second-squared.
Highest is at noon, and the lowest is at dawn and dusk.
