Is my wine fermenting? And is this floating stuff a problem?

I agree that it looks pretty clear, but not perfectly clear. I think you have two equally valid options:
1. Bottle it as is, knowing that your wine won't be super duper clear, but that is okay!
2. Try some fining agents. Go to your local home-brew store (LHBS) or online source and get something like SuperKleer or other brand name. What you want is a two-part treatment of chitosan and kieselsol.

Congratulations on your patience!
Thank you for your response! I appreciate it and will try our local brew store. Thanks!

If you can't find SuperKleer, the name may have changed to be DualFine. Same product, different name to protect the guilty, I think. If worst comes to worst, you can buy individual bottles of kieselsol and chitosan, if you do that, be sure to write on the bottles which is which.
