Do Pretax deductions for federal income tax also apply to medicare and social security?
Does taxable medicare and taxable social security income decrease for pre tax deductions (such as 401k, flex spending) in the same way the federal taxable income decreases?

No. SS and Med taxes are not reduced by pre-tax deductions.

No, for 401(k).
Yes, for section 125, health insurance, flex spending, section 132f, etc.
