All matter has mass. Gravity is a result of mass. Therefore, all matter, everything experiences gravity. This gravitational force pulls the two objects toward each other.

Gravity is the property of space that causes forces between every two specks of matter that tend to draw them together, regardless of how far apart they are or what may be between them.
All matter has mass. Gravity is a result of mass. Therefore, all matter is affected by gravity. This is, all objects experience an attraction toward all other objects. This gravitational force pulls objects toward each other.

Gravity is a source that every object has. Even you have some gravity. Earth is much bigger than us, therefore it keeps us on it. Gravity pulls you towards something, to keep you within its range.

No. Gravity causes falling, but not weight. The feeling of weight is caused by RESISTING the pull of gravity. So if you jump out of an airplane, you fall freely for a while, and you feel weightless, even though gravity is causing you to fall. When you open your parachute, the feeling of weight returns, because the parachute is resisting gravity. When you land on the ground and stand up, the Earth's gravity pulls you down, and you feel your weight because the ground beneath your feet allow you to resist gravity.

In an orbiting spacecraft, you're still falling - "free-fall", as the spacecraft falls AROUND the Earth with you inside. You feel weightless because neither you nor your spaceship are resisting the gravity.

Matter causes gravity. Newton theorised that two bodies of masses m1 and m2 at a distance apart of d, produce a mutual force of [(m1 x m2)/d2] x a constant.

No. The Acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects. (-9.81m/s squared) (Assuming that there is no air resistance)

Because it is something different, it's as simple as that.

No. Gravity is affected only by the mass of an object and your distance from it.

From what I've heard I'm pretty sure the rotation is the thing holding us to the ground.

All things that have mass are attracted to all other things

with mass, by gravitational force.
