Gravity.
The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.
Yes, liquids can fill containers as long as the container can hold the volume of the liquid. The shape and size of the container will determine how the liquid fills it. Liquids will take the shape of the container they are poured into.
No, small amounts of liquids do not fill a large container. The volume of the liquid stays the same, regardless of the size of the container it is placed in.
yes
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Superfluidity

A gas will always have the same mass, as it fills a container it's density lowers. Liquids are non- compressible, meaning their density are always the same, for example water's density is 1.0

Yes, a gas will always fill the container that it is in.

The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
they do not have a set volume, thus they completely fill any container that they are in.

Superfluidity
Yes
Liquids always take the shape of the container that they are in. This is the basic definition of a liquid.
