Is the moons orbit around earth straight with respect to earth's orbit around the sun?

No. The moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. This is why we do not see eclipses every month.

What is Earths sun?
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.
If an object is dropped from a given height does the object fall in a straight line towards the Earths core OR is it's path changed in any way by the influence of the rotation of the Earth?
It depends on your point of observation. It may appear to curve if you are stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth, though with respect to the travel of the object it will (with ever-so-slight perterbations by the sun, moon, etc.) fall directly toward the center of the Earth.
