My Gods. Neither.
I have a bit of a problem with either side of this argument, which could be because I mainly hear this from those on the extreme ends of each side, but still.
Yes, I find it sexy when I woman has nice breasts and exposes them.
No, I don't think it gives them any power they didn't have before.
No, I don't think that is makes them a sexual object.
The situation that they reveal their breasts in is important. If it's something that makes sense for the character, then awesome, if not, lame. There should always be a reason. A better reason than "Oh yeah fan service." If a woman shows her breast to try to seduce the audience into liking the movie, show, or what have you, then that's bad. If they do it to seduce a man onscreen, or something like that, great.

Depends. In the context of the film, poster, work of media, is she presented as a manipulatable "object" totally susceptible to a man's will or an agent with intention of her own? Is she a real woman with intention or a Stepford wife? It'd depend entirely on the situation.
Well, sometimes in movies, there's a female actress doing a strip tease while college boys are filming.
That would make it sexist objectifying.
Sometimes, it's just there in the movie but not the point, like if a woman was stranded on an island and clothes would just be a hassle.
That would make it sexual empowerment.
So I'll go with "undecided". As with everything, it all depends on the context and situation.

Regardless of what the woman herself feels, she isn't furthering the feminist cause. It only reinforces the social representation of women as sexual objects.
