Compasses do not point to "true North" but to "magnetic North," which is variable. True North is not the same as magnetic North. True North is aligned with the axis of the earth's rotation. Magnetic North, which aligns with the earth's magnetic fields, is slightly off. Depending on one's position in latitude and longitude, the degree of difference between the two will vary.
The flea and the acrobat analogy is commonly used in string theory, but it specifically relates to small dimensions and the difficulty of detecting them at scales which can be currently detected. As an analogy, it is not particularly relevant, nor does it make sense with respect to The Other Side, as the boys call it.

Eleven can indeed overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth - which weighs 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms - since the force required to do so is not the weight of the planet, but merely the weight of the boy.
When Hopper finds the listening device in the light fixture, the wires still appear to have insulation along the full length. If the insulation isn't removed from at least part of each, no current flows, the device won't work.
When the kids were following the compass "north", they were walking along a set of train tracks that was turning. They wouldn't follow the curve if the wanted to follow the compass.

The agents attached the Hawkins lab had previously shown themselves to be utterly ruthless in eliminating all evidence of and witnesses to their run-amok experiments.

When Mr. Clarke explains how to go to the other dimension, he says that one would need to create an impossibly massive amount of energy to open a hole to it. As he is a scientist he should know that energy cannot be created, only transformed. As he is a scientist he shouldn't say that they need to *create* energy, rather *transform* an impossibly massive amount of it.
