Ya earths gravity isnt going to pull this thing in anymore than a high caliber bullet is affected by light wind.

The only way that could happen is if it was going slow enough...
-
if a meteor were to hit earth, isn't there a possibility it can get caught in our gravity? like the moon?

You're an idiot, I would just like you to know that.

I can see where you're coming from. It's theorised that we can do that same thing to asteroids and comets to alter their orbital paths. However, achieving that on such a scale (i.e. with a planet) seems a bit too farfetched. After all, larger rocks have hit the planets and Moons and I've never heard of such a result.

Not according to the NASA astronomers - it's only just been spotted flying past Earth and is already half-way to Mars. Their current assessment is a 1 in 75 risk of a strike on Mars on 30 January 2008.
