The organs of the body do not fall while standing because they are held in place by the body structure. Without the bones to keep them in place, they would get all mixed up.

Many people can fall asleep standing up. Though once the person falls asleep their body becomes very relaxed and will not be able to keep the body upright. You can sleep propped up but most likely you will fall over.
I have tried several times, and I do not fall over. Still, to answer your question: I guess that your eyes register that you are standing straight, and as such you can keep your balance. When you close your eyes, the balance-organ in your ear is apparently not able to recognize a balance, and you fall. Also, I think that the muscles in your (one) leg aren't used to standing on their own. When you stand up, the muscles in your legs constantly make tiny adjustments to keep you standing. Normally, your legs would do that together, but now that one leg you're standing on has to keep balance all by itself. It's like the difference between riding a bicycle or a one-wheeler.
the minimum distance to fall and die would be standing on the ground, but it really depends on how you fall and what you hit. If you hit your head hard enough you could die from standing on the ground.
It means you only sleep little. Horses can sleep standing and for 2hrs at a time to regenerate
you would fall and die
