Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.
Acceleration is scientifically defined as a change in velocity, not an increase in speed. Thus slowing down, speeding up, or changing direction are all forms of accelerating. If one is moving at a constant speed, then the only way to accelerate would be to change direction.
A straight line with a constant slope
That the object is moving at a constant velocity
If it's moving in a curve or some other non-straight path, then yes. If it's moving in a straight line, then no.
