We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D
Yes, they can- and have already! Laikawas a Soviet space dog who orbited the Earth in 1957.
Space shuttles are not designed to go to other planets, they stay in a near earth orbit, orbiting earth several times in a mission before returning back to earth. They don't really go far from our planet.
Returning to the surface from space is called deorbiting.
Because Earth's gravity is stronger the farther in through the atmosphere you go. Out of the atmosphere in space there is no gravity except on other planets.
