shouldn’t vector momentum and centripetal force pull them apart and dissipate their force pretty quickly? It seems like a bathtub drain situation, but I don’t really understand that either, and the “drain” in this case would have to stop at the surface of the earth, right?

The drain is upside down. The sun heats air near the surface, the hot air is less dense, so it rises, air around this rising chunk comes in from the sides to replace it, and any rotation in that air pulled in from the sides speeds up because angular momentum is conserved.
