What is a stationary glacier?
a glacier that stays in one spot ( stationary )answer 2 the above is OK, but these stationary ice fields are usually called ice plateaus. And they are plateaus because they don't move; otherwise they would be sloping. Actually they may have a very slight slope, but they will appear flat.
How would moving at light speed affect a watch?
Just like everything else, that would depend on who is looking at the watch, and how the observer is moving relative to it. To the person wearing the watch, it would appear perfectly normal, as it tick-tocked regularly and the hands moved slowly. But to a stationary observer ... one with respect to whom the watch is moving at light speed ... the watch would appear to have stopped --- just like the heartbeat of the person wearing it!

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.
