Doubt Hard Disk 2.5" + case USB 3.0

[cloudff7]

If you eject the 2.5" HDD in Windows 10 and then hit the HDD case with your hand, will it damage it and generate bad blocks? Did the shock move the HDD on the table?

When the head is in the parking position then no. If you hit it while the disk is busy then yes.
It depends on how you shock it. Just push it a bit around is not a problem.
Had a fresh 200€ disk (3.5" external) standing without support and it toppled during data access. That was it...

How do I find out if when I ejected the 2.5" HDD + USB3.0 case in Windows 10 the HDD went into parking mode? Is any log saved on the PC?

To make it more precisely: the head is parked outomatically even after powerloss when you just pull the plug.
If you are affraid that something went wrong you have to plug it in again and check the s.m.a.r.t. status. On windows chrystaldiskinfo is a nice tool.
But this is not a 100% prediction that your drive will fail when you use it.
You could plug it in and run a backup or send it in to a professional and spend a lot of money. Depending on the worth of the data.

I ejected it in Windows 10 when I pulled the USB3.0 cable from the PC the plug came out and my hand bumped into the HDD case it didn't fall to the floor but the case moved

I would say it should be fine. Plug it in.
If it holds data for which you would pay a loooot of money then send it in otherwise connect it. Try to backup then check.
