I recognized that problem when I was a teenager. Congratulations.

This is more interesting than you realize. There isn't any fixed point "center of the universe". When your time machine jumps 6 months into the future are you in the solar system with the Earth on the other side of the sun, or is the entire solar system a googol kilometers away?
The Earth is moving relative to the sun which is moving relative to the center of the galaxy which is moving relative other galaxies and so on. All velocities are relative to something else you define as stationary. How far the Earth has moved in 6 months depends on some other moving object you're comparing it to. If the object is the Earth itself you haven't moved at all.

Presuming a time "machine", I would suspect the only reasonable answer is that the machine bolted to the Earth moves with the Earth and your "path" is held within it through time. This obviously doesn't make sense with reverse time travel, but neither does anything else. But yes, you are correct to bring up the lack of absolute position.

and the earth is flat...

When you don't have permissions to do science, you try sudo science.
