Very hard question indeed. It depends on many factors. Velocity of meteor, Physics governed, State of the earth atmosphere, angle of striking, gravity of earth and several other factors. But there is no rule that It should fall on EAST.WEST or North and south. The fate is purely dependent on physics.

From where I am near Philadelphia, they seem to be right below Orion and are travelling east to west. At least the ones I saw at around 11:00 pm EST.

Meteor showers appear to come from a single spot in the sky and fan out in all directions from there. Here's a photo: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap021127.html

Hi. None of the above. They fall 'down'. Towards the Earth's gravity field.

Depends on their angle of entry. Most of them fall down.

the correct answer is they fall "away from the radiant. (the point they seem to be coming from)
Which in relation to us on earth is from any direction (where the radiant is) to anydirection from the radiant.
