I'm going to guess it's for easier guidance. If center of pressure were above CG, you'd blast your rocket so that's out, we're not pulling here, we're pushing. If CP is below but too close to CG, you would have a balancing issue. Try to balance a tall object such as a broom on your hand. It's much easier to do than balancing a short object such as a pen. Easier to correct and stay under CG, with more distance.
The position of an object has no effect on the location of its center of gravity. It may have an effect on the truck's center of gravity, however, if the truck's load shifts on the incline. But that's the result of an actual shift in the center of gravity, not the result of the incline.
Yes, gravity acts on marbles just like it does on all objects with mass. The force of gravity pulls the marble towards the center of the Earth, causing it to fall when dropped or roll downwards on an inclined surface.
None

Yes . If the center of pressure, for the vehicle as a whole, is not located behind the center of gravity (away from the direction of the flight path), then the vehicle will have unstable motion and can tumble. Adding fins to the rear of the vehicle (or increasing fin surface area) will move the center of pressure aft, affording stable flight. A similar effect can be produced by adding weight to the front of the vehicle.
As the intensity of pressure increases with depth so for an inclined surface CP is bellow CG. Center of gravity : a point from which the weight of a body or system may be considered to act. In uniform gravity it is the same as the center of mass.
The center, because that is where all the gravity of Earth pulls you down(this is why when you jump you come down) create lots of friction and pressure
the pressure changes by how deep you are below see level because of gravity?
below the centroid
I assume you are talking about a model rocket. Center of pressure needs to be below center of gravity in order for the rocket to fly straight. Mathematically, the rocket will tilt around the center of gravity but appear to be pushed from the center of pressure, hence the need for the center of pressure to be below the center of gravity, otherwise the rocket will just corkscrew off the pad. The fins move the center of pressure down.

The center of pressure in a rocket is the point where the total aerodynamic force acts, resulting from the pressure distribution over the rocket's surface. It typically lies below the center of gravity when the rocket is in flight, ensuring stability. The exact location can vary based on the rocket's shape, speed, and angle of attack, and it is crucial for maintaining controlled flight and preventing tumbling. Proper design ensures that the center of gravity remains ahead of the center of pressure for stable flight.

As you travel from the surface to the center of the Earth, pressure will increase enormously, because of the increasing weight of what is above you.
