Why doesn’t it spin independently of me and I end up in another country or something? And if a spaceship watched earth from afar, at one point would it start spinning with earth and at what point can it observe the rotations of earth without being part of it?

Very similar to driving a car, and tossing a ball up in the air. Does it hit you in the face?
It doesn’t because everything in the car is moving together as a system. You’re all moving at the same relative speed.
Everything on earth is doing the same.
