> Am I correct when I say :

Yes.  Actually, if it slides forward then it is called a slat.  If it rotates 
down from a hinge it is called a "leading edge flap". Together they are 
sometimes called "leading edge devices" or LED.

Yes. Sometimes they are called "spoilers", and it isn't always clear.  
Sometimes, if they are on top of the wing, they are called both at the same 
time.

Yes.  The part of the engine cowling that moves backwards is often called a 
reverser "sleeve".
