Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes.
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.

Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?

Why do gravity decreases towards the core of the earth?
Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of the earth. As you go down in the earth, the amount of mass of earth still between you and the centre of earth decreases. Thus as this effective mass decreases, the gravitational attraction decreases.
