Your questions are ambiguous. Therefore, the answer to all of them
are "no". However, I will add a qualifier to each question to indicate
how a person may interpret your question.

No, for four reasons.
1)A frame can't "own" anything.
-The same event can be measured in different frames.
2)The aether may or may not be moving.
-How can one know the velocity of the aether, anyway.
3)The stationary frame is arbitrary because there is no experiment
that can determine its velocity.
-One gets the same prediction for the MMX if you choose a
stationary frame on the surface of the earth.
-Lorentz's formulas predict the exact same physical results if
the MMX apparatus was standing still in the aether.
4) Different parts of the earth are moving at different velocities
through the aether.
-The center of the earth is hardly moving with respect to the
aether.
-Opposite sides of the earth are moving rapidly with respect to
the aether in opposite directions.

No, for three reasons.
A) The moving earth is not shorter in the direction perpendicular to
the motion of the earth.
B) The arm in the MMX perpendicular to the direction of motion of the
earth is not shorter.
C) Different parts of the earth are moving at different velocities.
D) There is a shortening in the direction of motion for sections of
the earth and one arm of the MMX.
> sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is less than 1, agreed?
E) No. There is are two exceptions.
F) If |v|=0, then sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)=1.
G) If |v|>c, then sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is not a real number.
Your statement is true for one case only.
H) If 0<|v|<c, then sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)<1.
Furthermore, v can be positive, negative or zero. What I just
wrote is true regardless of sign. The sign doesn't affect length.
Remember, x^2=(-x)^2.
I) The sign of "v" is important in the twin paradox. The sign of
"v" is important in synchronization.
I anticipate that Androcles will ignore the sign of "v".
Clip whatever you like. The reader can always go back to this
post to see what I said. I can always copy a line from this post to
whatever reply that I want to make.
You can ignore my qualifiers if you want. If you ignore them,
then the serious reader will realize that they are important. I am
anticipating the false arguments that you will make following the
"yes" or "no".

I don't understand what your questions mean. Your pathetic
questions are ambiguous. Therefore, I have made statements that
anticipate the same false arguments that you have made many times.
However, I want the reader to recognize that I know what you are about
to say.
When you get to it, I will copy and paste the necessary comments
from this thread. This will show that not will I answer your stupid
question, I will have anticipated your stupid argument.
Reader, please note the following mistakes Androcles made at the
very beginning, just in his questions.
J) Androcles is using the word "belong" incorrectly. <12/29/2011>
K) Androcles is ignoring periods of acceleration. <12/29/2011>
L) Androcles is ignoring the different directions.<12/29/2011>
M) Androcles is ignoring the different parts of objects.
N) Androcles is ignoring the sign of "v". <12/29/2011>
O) He confuses "frames" and "objects". <12/29/2011>.
Okay, the interested reader has taken note of my "pathetic
diatribe", in addition to my yes/no answers. Androcles is given an
opportunity to clarify his questions a little more before he starts
the analysis.
