> The force drawing the weight and the mass of the earth 'under' it together
There is no such force. Think of the accelerating rocket: there is no "force drawing the weight and the scale together". There is just the rocket pushing. The same is true standing on the Earth: there is just the ground pushing.
One of the reasons we need "spacetime curvature" in GR is to explain how the ground can be pushing things in different directions in different parts of the Earth, while all those things still remain stationary relative to the Earth's center and each other. But the whole point is that, even with all that factored in, there is still no "force drawing the weight and the Earth together". There is just the ground pushing up, plus spacetime geometry to account for the global configuration. That's it.
