The largest meteorite ever found is a 66-ton iron meteorite called `Hoba`, found In 1920 by a farmer was plowing a field near Grootfontein, Namibia. It is also the largest piece of iron ever found near Earth's surface. It is tabular in shape and about nine feet long, nine feet wide and about three feet thick. It was given the name "Hoba" because it was discovered on a farm named "Hoba West".
As far as we know, no rogue planet has ever come near Earth. Comets and asteroids have come near Earth, but not actual planets.
Never. A "meteorite" is a space rock that fell through the Earth's atmosphere and became a "meteor", and survived the fall to the Earth. No meteorite from Earth will ever be taken to an "alien galaxy". Why would we? We'll find plenty of space rocks in space, where we don't have to use fuel to lift them back into space from the Earth's surface.

Yes. A meteorite is a piece of rock or metal from space that has hit Earth's surface.
If the object actually makes it to the Earths surface it is called a Meteorite. It does not matter if its man made or from outer space. I know they say a satellite has crashed to earth etc but its is still a meteorite. But the definition of meteorite is an object that has come from space and actually impacted with the planet.
No. The atmosphere burns up the meteorite.
On Earth's surface.
