I think I know what your asking and I might have just the right answer. Years ago I was reading National Geographic about space exploration and earth views from space, and a redering I will never foget was an illustrated with exageration to show the point of the article is that the earth is not round as a sphere, but more of a triangualted shape closer to representing a pyramid of 3 balls together with one more on top. now sort of mush this shape together in your mind and you have a pretty good example of the redition of the earth at still as described and illustrated by National G. Back in the 70's; year or Issue I 'll never remember but that shape and that artice I'll never forget.

1) All objects, even you, have gravity. The earth has more mass than you so naturally its gravity is stronger.2) In all objects (both you and the earth for example) the gravity appears to be concentrated at the center of the object (the center of the earth and your center of gravity) 3) The center of gravity of all objects attract each other. In other words, imagine (bear with me, this is a silly example) the center of the earth and the center of you were connected by a giant imaginary rubber band. You would then be able to walk anywhere on the earth without falling off. Now. To answer your other questions. If the earth were rotating really fast the rubber band would be stretched and you would be thrown off into space. The speed at which this would occur is called the escape velocity and it's exactly how satellites are launched. Finally, the ball you mentioned and the object placed on it will attract each other but since the ball is so small the attraction is weak. The playground where the ball is located is on the earth which has a much stronger gravity and the objects release themselves from the ball and fall to earth. Weak rubber band between ball and object and strong rubber band between earth and object. If we were in outer space with no other source of gravity nearby the objects would be attracted to the ball. You realize, I hope, that there really isn't a rubber band. It's just the force of gravitational attraction between all objects in the universe.
