yes, because the air resistance on it is much higher than on other animals. its kind of like dropping a feather.
actually, some ants can glide (tropical types). its pretty amazing.

Probably so but how would you find the ant once you threw it off a 10 story building?

I believe it might survive.
Smaller things are less affected by gravity. This is why an ant can lift things many times more than it's own weight. If you were to enlarge the ant to our size, it wouldn't be able to do that anymore.
Remember when you were little and it was cool to jump down off a tree branch? If you try that same jump when you're older, you'd probably break your leg.

yes, it would because it is not very dense (mass per volume) and therefore it's terminal velocity, assuming no ten story buildings are built in a vacuum, is not very fast at all.
The ant would have one hell of a trip though!

yeah because an ant is very light and cannot reach a high enough terminal velocity to get killed
