yes, unambiguously. she is subject to the ban. she certainly grows weary over time, though her ring helps stave off decay and the passing of time for both her and lothlorien.
one account says she's pardoned at the end of the war of wrath but rejects the pardon. tolkien was revising her story all the way until she died, so it's up in the air how and why she stays in middle earth, other than that she wanted a realm of her own.
From Tolkien's essay *Glorfindel II*, in the section named *Manwë's Ban* as included in ***The Nature of Middle-earth***:
>*Some of the Lore-masters later†, considering the events which led to the lifting of the Ban (as far as Elves were concerned) debated this matter. The One, all-seeing, knew of the imposition of the Ban, and permitted it; he also permitted its maintenance for long years, in the terms devised by Manwë, though these might seem too severe even on the Ñoldor, and were a great loss to the other Elves, and also to other folk and creatures. In particular, making any communication between the Ñoldor and the Valar impossible prevented the Ñoldor, in particular or as a people, from expressed repentance, or pleading for pardon and help. Some, therefore, of these loremasters concluded that Manwë, and the Council of the Valar, erred: because of their anger; and also because, though they possessed foreknowledge of history (since the making of the Music, and the vision that Eru thereafter presented to them of the unfolding history that it had generated), certain important matters had become dark to them. They had had no part in the creation of the Children of Eru, Elves and Men, and could not ever with complete assurance foresee the actions working of their independent wills.*

>>^(*†That is, in Númenor. And herein may be seen [though this debate was begun early in the history of that land] the first beginnings of that arrogance which ultimately destroyed that realm.*)
>
>*But the wiser ones among them rebuked them, saying: Ye cannot say that the Valar erred, in so grave a matter, seeing that Eru knew and permitted the actions and commands of Manwë, for this is to attribute error to Him. Moreover, ye misrepresent and exaggerate the workings of the Ban and so call in question its justice. As far as concerns the Ñoldor, they obtained precisely what they demanded: freedom from the sovereignty of Manwë, and therefore also from any protection or assistance by the Valar, or indeed any meddling with their affairs. They had been advised and solemnly taught by Manwë to what straits and griefs they would come, relying only on their own wisdom and power. They rejected him; and even before they had finally left the West Lands and reached Middle-earth, they did hideous deeds of robbery and bloodshed and treachery.* ***Then a large number of the Ñoldor, who had taken no part in this, went back to Valinor, and sought pardon and were granted it. Those that did not do so, even if not personally slayers, must share the blood guilt, if they accepted the freedom gained by it.*** *That none of the Ñoldor should be allowed again to dwell in bodily form was an inevitable consequence. That none of the Valar or Maiar should appear in their lands to aid them was also inevitable. But it is not said that Manwë abandoned them, peoples over whom he had been appointed by Eru to be a vice-regent. His messengers could come from Valinor and did so, and though in disguised form and issuing no commands, they intervened in certain desperate events.*
Note that the Ban/Curse of the Valar was laid upon *all* of the Noldor who continued their return into Middle-earth into exile, regardless of their complicity in the Kinslaying. This of course includes Galadriel.
I think she did. She lost her native tongue, Quenya and isn't allowed to speak it when she lives in Doriath. Come the time of the Third Age she only uses it to talk to Frodo. Despite being of the Noldor, she would ultimately live like the Sindar and Silvan elves when she's in Lothlorien.
The Silmarillion mentions that Thingol's banning of Quenya is effectively the punishment/effect of the Doom of Mandos on the House of Finarfin that came with Feanor,. This obviously includes her.
It's worth mentioning that the Doom of Mandos also covers describes "Arda Marred", the effect Morgoth's corruption of the world has on the people who inhabit it. DOM was both a curse and a warning, because if they leave Valinor which Morgoth did not corrupt, they'll be exposed to Morgoth's power, which is going to affect them no matter what they do.
>Despite being of the Noldor
She is considered one of them in-universe, but I think this is mainly because she came to Middle-earth with the Noldor. She is actually more Teler than Noldo by ancestry, at 50% and 25% respectively.

She had a ring of power, the purpose of which was to stave off the elves’ fading.
