Firstly the Sun does move, it orbits around Sagittarius A. The super massive black hole in the center of are Milky Way Galaxy.
If the Earth was to orbit the sun with a greater velocity it would escape the Sun's gravity and go through the universe until it collided with another object, until it was pulled into another star's gravity, or even a massive planet where the Earth would act as it's satellite, or it would get sucked into a black hole if it was to come across one and passed close enough to get within it's horizon(gravity field).
If the moon moved around the earth faster, while the earth maintained the same rotational speed, the period between spring and neap tides would be less.

Depending on the direction in which your speed was pointed, and at what stage of the launch it was faster, any of these could happen: -- you would get to orbit sooner -- you would settle into a smaller, more circular orbit -- you would settle into a larger, more eccentric orbit -- you would not orbit at all, but escape the Earth completely and never return
It depends how close. A mile wouldn't matter, but 100,000 miles and we would probably feel the heat.
It would be TO HOT and we may die
What if anything would happen to the shape of the earth if it were to rotate on its axis faster than it does todayWell ladies and gentlemen

Since everyone and everything on Earth does so anyway, nothing.
It would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
It would burst up in flames. If earth moved closer to the sun we would all die and suffer of the heat of the sun and also if the earth got closer to the sun earth can most likely melt.
If Earth moved around the Sun faster, then it would have to be closer to the Sun. This would cause greater, more extreme tides. High tide would be higher and low tide would be lower. ADDED That rather assumes the Earth being not so close that it has lost its water, of course! Mind you, if it was that close we would not exist to worry about it.
I'm sure it would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
If we moved close enough, the planets atmosphere would disintegrate and we would all die from suffocation or heat.
It would fall to Earth's surface.

Probably nothing; the earthquake in Chile last week probably did that much.
