Yes, Rainbow did make that leaf fall on Fluttershy`s back. Was she hurt by this - no. Was she offended by this - I doubt. This 'action' was not intended to make fun of Fluttershy.

RD was not sarcastic - she was telling the obvious things. She did sometimes forget that Fluttershy is not using her wings very often.

I think you are forgetting the episode`s plot. The Fluttershy is supposed to be very scared of everything and her friends can notice and point to that. But on the end you see how Fluttershy became gains resolve to talk top dragon. If she was assertive from the beginning that would be no episode. Plus this 'fun-making' is supposed to show that even if everypony else thinks you are weak, it may not always be like this.
