Naturally the ball in space will travel the longest distance as long as it does not bump into something along the way. Gravity on earth will cause the ball thrown to fall back to earth.
it just won't take long
depends on severity of the fall and the severity of the injury.
It would take approximately 8-10 minutes to fall from space back to Earth, depending on the height from which you jump. During this time, you would experience free fall until reaching terminal velocity, at which point your speed stabilizes. Upon reaching the ground, you would want to ensure you had a safe method of slowing down or landing to avoid injury.
It is physically impossible to fall to the Earth's core due to extreme heat and pressure. If such a fall were possible, using theoretical calculations, it would take roughly 42 minutes to fall through a tunnel that extends through the Earth's center assuming no air resistance.
