The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.

The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.

Gravity, but it does not pull it to the surface of the earth but rather, the core of the earth. But the surface gets in the way, and so everything stays down.

What is the distance from earth before you start falling When an orbit is no longer an orbit?

There is none. Let's say you and the earth were the only 2 objects in our Universe. The two of you would immediately start falling toward EACH OTHER. Of course, with earth being a gigantatillion times bigger than you, all you would notice (if you had delicate instruments to measure your movement) is you falling toward earth. So there is no definite distance from earth before you start falling toward it. In reality, there are trillions of stars and gazillions of tons of space dust - you would fall toward them instead of toward earth, but there would STILL be a tiny tiny amount of falling toward earth.

The energy they obtain is gravitaional potential energy. So they are falling toward the centre of earth - but will most likley just land on the crust of our planet.... unless there was a really big hole.
