Yes. Objects deeper in a gravity well see things further away as moving faster; likewise, objects far away see objects deep in the well moving more slowly.

This has real consequences here on Earth: a plane flying high in the sky is in a shallower region of Earth's gravitational well, while a ground station is deeper. We can place perfectly synchoronized clocks on the station and on the plane, and send the plane round the world, and actually see that the clocks have shifted out of sync.

with more air resitance with a more flat surface such as a piece a paper like if you dropped a Bowling ball and a sheat of paper off a bulding the bowling ball would get to the bottom first not just because its heavier its because i has a round surface and the paper has a flat surface .

Yes, time is affected by gravity. We know that the fabric of "reality" is spacetime, and spacetime can be warped by gravity. Gravity will thus affect time, as it cannot help but do so.
