Can or cannot the daily path of stars around Polaris be explained by the geocentric model of the solar system?

It was explained by the geocentric model, for thousands of years, in a way that
was easy to understand, intuitively satisfying, and matched observation perfectly:
The stars are points of light, glued to the inside of a giant solid bowl, which rotates
around the earth once a day.
Only a few objects in the sky are not glued to the same bowl: The sun, moon, and planets.

No, just as you cannot see the Earth turning from any other part of the Earth. Your view, relative to its size, is simply too small to be able to notice is rotation.

Your body's loss of balance is actually because it is temporarily unable to adjust to the motion of the Earth.
