Assuming that it was just under the speed of light, the Earth might hold itself together, since it will have gained a lot of extra mass by the speed of rotation. Of course, the gravity would probably be powerful enough to pull everything closer than Jupiter into the planet, which would be quite bad.

First of all it is not possible for earth to achive the speed of light. To achive the speed of light earth should be mass less which is impossible. AND IF earth would some how manage to travel at the speed of light that it would no more remain in its orbit. And Its centripital force would flung the earth off it's orbit and earth will travell at the constant velocity for ever and ever untill it hits some things else.

Theoretically, it can't happen. But if we did, then the Earth, according to Einstein's theory, will have width of zero as it travels. It means Earth will travel like a piece of paper in space. Another possible outcome is that Earth's time will stop.

impossible, but let's assume 99.9999999999% c
The earth would basically rip itself to pieces. It doesn't have the gravity to hold on to any of it's mass at that speed, so everyhting on the surface would go flying away at near the speed of light, then gradually every layer would spin away in pieces until there was nothing left.

It would become a time machine and transport into the future. Yes, of course, it's related to Einstein's Theory of relativity.

We'd get some very, very weird time dilation effects.
