If you could leave the Earth and stand somewhere above the North Pole then you would see the Earth rotating anticlockwise (counter clockwise). If you could stand above the solar system and look down onto the North Pole of the Earth and Sun, you would see the Earth orbiting the Sun anticlockwise (counter clockwise). Mind you, all the people in the Southern Hemisphere would not understand why you are standing above the North Pole, they would quite rightly, expect you to stand above the Southern Pole and rotation would be clockwise.
I'm not sure what "rotate west to east" means. One can travel from West to East but not rotate West to East.
Each point on the surface is heading in an easterly direction. The Sun appears to rise in the east, as you zoom underneath it.
