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?

If the air around you was objectively stationary relative to the moving Earth underneath it, you’d be in 900+ MPH winds all the time. So obviously the air is also moving along with the Earth. When you are up in the air, you are then are also moving, so say stay roughly over the same spot.
