At just the right speed so that I can't feel it move.

Earth orbits the Sun at about 66,000 miles per hour. It would not matter which reference was used, center of our galaxy, or Andromeda or a fixed point in space, because it is the speed around the Sun you are asking about. As seen from the Earth or even from the Sun, all those pother points are close enough to being fixed in space. True, the Sun orbits the center of our galaxy at high speed, but it still takes millions of years to go around once so it seems almost fixed during the short 365 days it takes Earth to orbit the Sun once.

Sun: The Earth moves around the sun at 1.2 degrees of 360 all round degrees and to 0.2 of 5 of 365 days or 107,310.004 km per hour.
Galaxy: Sagittarius A is unknown we don't know the exact position to know
relative by 0.00000000000031211 degrees as the whole solar system orbits the galactic centre of 250.045 km per second and 200.01 million years per orbit.
Andromeda: Andromeda A is unknown as light takes time to reach us
relative by 0.000000000000000000000567325 to that of 120.0674 km per second for the andromeda galaxy to reach us.
Fixed space: There is no fixed point or is relative by:
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The orbital speed of the Earth around the sun is 107,300 km/h, about 30 km/sec
The sun's orbital speed around the center of the galaxy is 250 km/sec. It takes 200 million years for one orbit.
The Andromeda galaxy is approaching the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of 100-140 km/sec. It is approaching the sun at a rate of 300 km/sec.
It is not known whether the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with the Milky Way galaxy, because it's hard to measure the lateral component of its motion.
There's no way to answer you last question, as no one can really "fix" a point in space--there is no preferred reference frame.

the earth orbits the sun at 67.000 miles an hour.i dont think it travels around andromeda as that is a different galaxy.but if you were to leave the earth traveling at the speed of light it would take you 200,000,000 years to get there.or 1/5th billion years.

do not forget that the rotational velocity of the Earth in mph relies upon on the area from the axis of spinning- close to the north and south poles the speed of spin is close to 0. that's extra effectual to communicate in revolutions, ie the Earth spins one rev in line with day so on the equator it spins at (Pi situations d) miles in line with day, the position d is the Earth's diameter.
