“Abroad” and “behind” are the only ones that can be adjectives. I have answered the other questions on use. Many of those words have multiple functions – they can be either adverbs or prepositions in different uses – and I have shown you examples of their use as adverbs and as prepositions. For instance, “within” can be a preposition or an adverb, and I have provided you with adverbial and prepositional uses as examples. I don’t know what more you want.
