1&2. Earth is correct if you are talking about the planet. "earth" is correct if you are talking about just plain dirt.

3-2 and 3-3 are correct but have different meanings.
I felt like getting up early - indicates that you wanted to do that.
I felt that I had to get up early -
indicates that it was required.

4. That is not correct.

5."meet" and "introduce" are synonyms used in that context.

6. Yes, it is an adverbial phrase. You can add the prepositions "over" or "during". However, you also need to
change the verb to "have grown" since it is a continuing action.
