and if so, did it have this gravity during the age of dinosuars?

not exactly. In fact as the earth gradually cools it becomes denser and contracts. The only factor adding to the earths mass is meteorite impact, and the amount this brings is negligable. The rate of change is so slow that any change in gravity since the age of dinosaurs would be so slight as to be undetectable.
hope this answers your question.

Not really. At most you could say that meteorites add to the earths mass, but it's a pretty minuscule percentage. It wouldn't be enough to calculate since the time of the dinosaurs.

No it isn't growing, some continents are moving slowly away eg . Australia is moving north a couple of cm every year

I'd say it has a miniscule growth in mass.
