- No.  The earth has a stronger gravitational pull on you than the Sun has,
because the Earth is quite a bit closer to you than the sun is.

- Yes, but poorly worded.  Planets would travel in a straight line if
it weren't for the forces of gravity pulling the Sun and each planet
toward each other.

-  No.  Gravitational forces are stronger between objects that are
closer together.

- No.  The elliptical path of planets is described by Newton's 3rd law
of motion, combined with Newton's law of gravity.
