I have one point, and one question here.
First, 9.8ms^-2 is geometrical not exponential.
Second, if the earth is expanding this quickly, but if the distance to the sun (in Eath diameters) is constant (as you imply), then there wil be an absolutely huge force dragging us off the Earth as it accelerates away from the sun.
Your theory also gets the gravity between masses on the surface of the Earth wrong.
If you look at the classic experimen that measures deflection of a mass in the lab, as another mass is brought close by, then your theory predicts a negligible effect. In reality, we get the effect that we'd expect from our classic theory of gravity.
Overall, your theory only works for gravity from one single object, expanding from its centre.
It does not even work well for that. Look at a satellite in freefall around the earth (the Moon, if you like), and ask yourself what trajectory it should follow under your scheme.
