simple as that.

No only objects in space.

There is gravity in space... only it's very, very small. It's called "microgravity" because it is so small. Gravity affects everything, everywhere, although in space it is usually such a small effect that it can be ignored.
In case you'd like to learn more, I'm sending you a link to a NASA webpage that delves into gravity and microgravity.

There is gravity everywhere. It gives shape to the orbits of the planets, the solar system, and even galaxies. Gravity from the Sun reaches throughout the solar system and beyond, keeping the planets in their orbits. Gravity from Earth keeps the Moon and human-made satellites in orbit.
It is true that gravity decreases with distance, so it is possible to be far away from a planet or star and feel less gravity. But that doesn't account for the weightless feeling that astronauts experience in space. The reason that astronauts feel weightless actually has to do with their position compared to their spaceship. We feel weight on Earth because gravity is pulling us down, while the floor or ground stop us from falling. We are pressed against it. Any ship in orbit around the Earth is falling slowly to Earth. Since the ship and the astronauts are falling at the same speed, the astronauts don't press against anything, so they feel weightless.

Gravity is everywhere and technically extends infinitely. The gravity of a specific object will obviously become negligible at a certain point.
-
Yes it extends though out the universe, not only from objects we can see but also from Dark matter which is kind of holding the universe together.
-
yes, but not much.
gravity exists between any 2 objects of mass.
so, there is gravity between the earth and the moon.

-
no because that's how the astronauts float in space but when were on earth we stay on the ground because gravity is pulling us down.
-
anything that has mass, or is heavy, has its own gravity :)
-
Yes, gravity pervades all of space.
-
No good answer, all of them are contradicting each other
-
Of course there is gravity in space
-
Yes,but less
