The question is a little unclear. Yes, there would still be gravity. There is always gravity. Yes, the Earth's gravity would still pull on you. It pulls on everything that's close enough. No, you wouldn't be pulled in any particular direction, because the gravitational attractions from different directions would cancel each other out.

Actually, the sensation would be as if you were in zero gravity. This is because gravity would be pulling at you equally in all directions.
Edit: I just realized that the above assumes that the Earth is a perfect sphere -- which it is not. So you'd probably end up being pulled in one direction slightly more than others. That is assuming that somehow you were immune to being incinerated and getting squashed, of course.

Gravity is a property that all mass has. The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. If you could stand at the center of the earth, you would still feel the gravitational effect of the earth mass.

There would be no gravity as the maximum gravity is at the surface of the earth

Of course. What do you think keeps the center of the earth at the center?

Gravity would still exist but the effect would be different.
The forces would be the same from all sides so you would not be pulled in any one direction.

Yes, probably less because it might be uniaxial but still there would be, there are other heavenly bodies
