No. Nyet. No how, no way. Fall out of orbit? What, did you sleep through physics class?

Technically no - because if anything large enough to smash into the Earth straight on to "move us" would most likely just smash us to bits - and then reform according to this hypothesis ... (see below). naturally, everything on Earth would be vaporiazed and we'd be subjected to another couple million years of volcanic upheavels and whether the atmosphere would recover ... in either case, they predict that when the moon moves away far enough (it's moving away at 2 inches a year) (250,000 years if I recall), Earth rotation won't be steady anymore and earth might be uninhabitable abd of course, in 5 billion years, our sun is projected to go supernova ...

No, because it would take a great deal of force to knock Earth out of its orbit and such a force would likely destroy the Earth.

yes
if lets say say and alien mother ship opens a warp.space/time cascade towards the sun, the earth will
fall towards it and towards the sun until it crashes into the sun
not a big splash doe
with the right tech anything is possible

Sure, if all known laws of physics stopped working (some actually, not all).
Or if some huge force acted on it to gradually affect it's orbit
