Yes, the axis of the Earth passes through its centre.
No, it is a point on the earth's surface, and thus cannot be the centre as well.
There is no such thing as a prime meridiam. The prime meridian, on the other hand, is a longitude: an imaginary line on the surface of the earth that goes from the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.
The Prime Meridian does not divide the Earth, it is an imaginary line going straight through the center.
Consider the Earth as a sphere - the fact that it is oblate is only of minor significance. The shortest route on the surface of a sphere is an arc of the Great Circle. This is a circle whose centre is at the centre of the sphere and which passes through the start and end points.
They are the poles.

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.

Until a straight line from his center of gravity to the center of the Earth no longer passes through his footprints on the ground.
Any circle on the Earth's surface whose center is at the center of the Earth is called a "great circle". Any circle with its center anywhere else is called a "small circle". Spiritually, many consider the kaaba (Mecca) to be the center of the Earth's surface.

When the moon passes through the earth's penumbra there is a partial eclipse of the moon for those on the side of the earth facing the moon. If it passes through the umbra, the eclipse is total.
