Uhm no. While you are in orbit you simply revolve around a parent object (a planet for example) but you still are subjected to its (and by proxy it to yours) gravitational pull. Eventually something that came lose will deorbit.
Keyword here is eventually. Sure it will, but what it definitely will not do is accelerate towards planet earth at what looks like 9.81m/s². AKA falling.
drag in orbit? 0, microgravity that pulls on everything even in high orbit? yes.
What is this microgravity?
I mean the earth pulls with its gravity, and your vessel/satelite overcome that by being in orbit. Something coming lose will just stay in orbit too.
