A slight continuous current in the earth wire or pipe indicates that there is a fault that needs investigating. Normally an appliance should be insulated from the earth wire so no current flows.

When a current carying conductor is cut through the any cross section but why does not the electron come out from the conductor?

Sometimes they do. This is seen as sparks. When the dielectric constant of the air gap is low enough, electrons will "leap across" the gap that is cut. Electrons are not like water in a pipe in this regard. Cutting the conductor is more like plugging the pipe.
