False. You will have the same mass on our moon, but weigh 1/6th as much as on the Earth.
It is not the same. Read the Wikipedia article on "mass versus weight" for a detailed discussion.
True. Mass and weight are related through the effect gravity has on an object. Mass represents the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Weight is directly proportional to mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
True. Gravity is a universal force that acts between any two objects with mass, regardless of their location in the universe.
False. An object's potential energy is not directly proportional to its mass. Potential energy is dependent on both mass and height, according to the formula PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.
True, all objects with mass are attracted to each other by the force of gravity. This gravitational attraction is dependent on the mass of the objects and their distance apart.
True

False. There is gravity in space. However, there are sections of space far away from any mass that will have no gravitational forces. So really, it depends on where you are in space (how close to a body of mass you are) whether there will be gravity or not.
True. Gravity is a universal force that acts between any two objects with mass, regardless of their location in the universe.
It is true that mass and gravity are proportional to one another.
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
True, the most common method is to use a balance

Hmmm... technically false. Density is mass/volume - it is an intrinsic property. Weight is subjective to the force of gravity, while density is not.
