What's the difference between our "attachment" to Earth compared to Earth's attachment to the Sun? Aren't both doing circular motion due to gravity (in us-Earth's case, gravity + support force from the ground) and inertia?

The Earth is in freefall above the sun. We are not in freefall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall
