Are the earths continents moving back together?
Not yet--they are still moving apart. Within the next hundred million years or so they should reverse direction and begin moving back together again. Look up "Wilson Cycle" for more information on that.

Over time the wobble in earths rotation will change what effect will this have?
The effect this has is that the location in the sky of the North Celestial Pole is constantly moving. The amount of change over the course of a human lifetime is not perceptible to people who don't make calibrated astronomical measurements.
How the contonours of African and south American continents suggest the idea that the continents are moble?
