The space shuttle contains a chair. If you kicked the chair, would you still stub your toe?

Yes - you would still have the inertia of the chair to stub your toe against. Ouch!!

Yes. The chair has mass and when you kick it it imparts a force from your toe to the chair. As a result the chair also imparts an opposite force to your toe causing it to hurt.

Yes. You'd still have to impart energy on the chair when you kicked it, and it'd respond with an equal normal force against your toe.

You're confusing friction with gravity.
