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?

Because you , the helicopter, and all the air around you are all already moving with the rotation of the earth. When you lift off, you are still moving with the earth due to inertia and gravity, but also now moving up at the same time
