No, You are typically falling at around 120 mph and the chute is just released and the wind catches it.
If you release it while on the ground, it would just fall out.

If you are falling from the sky, yes. the air pushes up on the underside of the opened parachute making you rise a bit before you start to descend. If you release it while you are standing on the ground, absolutely not.

Strictly no, the shute travels slower than the parachutist because as it opens it traps air within the canopy thus providing drag and slowing itself, the main chute is deployed by a smaller chute that pulls the main canopy from its container.

No.
But anyone falling at the same rate as you will continue to fall at that rate until they deploy their parachute, and your rate of descent will decrease. If they are filming you, the fact that you are now travelling at different rates will make it look like you are rising.

It just comes out of its packaging. The fact that you are falling causes the air molecules to act upward on it creating drag. If it comes out and gets tangled or doesn't open completely the drag is decreased.

Hopefully!! it has greater drag than you when it first deploys wich is why you fall away from it..but its still falling down

No you just slow down really quickly, so it appears you are going back up.
