Yes, according to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external net force.
If no net force acts on an object, the object will continue in its current state of motion. This means that if it is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if it is moving at a constant velocity, it will continue moving at that velocity.
A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.
When both sides are pulling with equal force, the object is either moving at a constant speed or it is stationary (not moving) :)
An object will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero and there is no external force to change its velocity.
First of all, there's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But we'll run past that and go directly to the question. Strange as it may seem, no force is required to keep a moving object moving. Force is only needed to change the object's speed, or to change the direction in which it's moving. When no force acts on it, it keeps moving just fine, at a constant speed and heading in a straight line. This has all been known for roughly 500 years now.

... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.

Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest. That's only one option. If no net force acts on an object, it will either remain at rest, or - if it was already moving - continue moving at a constant velocity.Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest.

Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.

When a balanced force is applied to an object, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity. This is because the net force on the object is zero, resulting in no change in its motion.
The force that maintains motion is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
An object moving at a constant speed without a force acting on it experiences no acceleration or external influence to change its motion. In the absence of forces like friction or gravity, an object can continue moving at a steady pace indefinitely.
If an object has no net force acting on it, it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line, following Newton's first law of motion.
