The slope of height vs. time squared graph equals (g) - acceleration due to gravity divided by two. In symbols
m = g/2, where m is the slope and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
You are describing a circle, with its center at the origin and a radius of 4 (the square root of 16)

Nothing in particular. It certainly does not represent acceleration.
You find the equation of a graph by finding an equation with a graph.
