Like if the sun was going to exist forever (which I know it isn’t). Would the earth ever stop spinning around the sun and eventually fall into it or is ongoing?

There are very small gravitational forces, and probably other things that I am forgetting, that would slow the Earth’s orbit given enough time. Losses due to gravitational waves are on the order of only a few watts though, so it would take an absurdly long time for that to happen.
