Gravitational force is the gradient of the potential and is, in the Newtonian approximation, ##\frac{GM}{r^2}## which is equal to g at the Earth's surface.

That's the gravitational field, the force is ##mg##.

Yes. I tend to speak a little fast and loose because there is no good pithy term for the force-per-unit-mass.
