Would he/she be reversed back in calendar date, by one day?

No, you have to go East to do that, it's the basis of "Round the World in 80 Days" - Jules Verne - you should read it!

Well it depends......direction is all relative to a single point.
If they went west from London (for example), they would always be heading in a westerley direction, but technically, they would re-enter London from the east, but still heading west.
Time is relative too, depends how long they took to cicumnavigate the Earth in relation to the time of starting, ie if they left at a certain time from a certain place, how long did it take to get back to that same time zone?

No, when you go across the pacific the cross the International Date Line and instantly jump backwards (or forwards) a day.
For example, if you get on a plane in New Zealand and fly to the US you can get there before you set off. Confusing!

Circleing the earth has nothing to do with calendars. If it did, imagine the astronaughts who circle the earth every one and a half hours.

THis only happens when you cross the international date line. If you go right round, you will only come back into the same time/date zone.

NO. Because he is coming back on the same point on earth.

no because the people in the same place you left never moved in to the future
