would the Earth be spinning below our feet or would we still be travelling with it?

The easy answer is that we would not move with the earth. We would move with the wind, or at least move at the whim of the wind.
The harder answer is that if there were zero gravity on earth, then our atmosphere would evaporate and we would pretty much die off in quite a hurry. We would also find ourselves wandering further than an inch from the earth. We would be shooting outward at the speed of gravity. That would violate the 1" specification of the problem, but it would be realistic.

Without gravity we wouldn't be in orbit around the sun, our moon would go flying off, our axis would tilt and we would be sent tumbling into space. Plus because of the whole mass thing, um it is impossible for there to be no gravity on earth.. so Stupid Question...

impossible if the Earth had no gravity strong enough to hold you it would have to be smaller than you and plus no gravity means no mass which means no earth even then your blood would boil because you would have no space suit to protect you. but to answer your question you would travel with it because there would be a little gravity to pull you along

If you had started spinning then you would continue to spin, but without gravity you would fly off into space since you would tend to stay in straightline motion without gravity to pull you around in a circle.

I'm pretty sure if these was no gravity the Earth wouldn't be spinning anymore.

You would spin with it because you were suspended in the air that is spinning along with the Earth.

The earth would spin beneath you as you floated further and further into space.

You would still be travelling with it. Try jumping up when you ride in the back of a truck, you will find that you land on the same spot when you come back down.

if this would happen by just making
we all gonna start departing into space and the earth would rotate beneath us.
