Answer 2

Technically, yes, if you travel west, you'll travel into earlier time zones, and you'll keep setting your clock back. If you can cross a time zone an hour, you'll stay at the same time of day. Unfortunately, that only works until you cross the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean, at which point it will be a day later.

So, you can gain at least some time, but if you ever want to get back, you'll have to either turn around and travel east (making you lose time) or you'll have to cross the Date Line, losing all the time you've gained and then some. Of course, travelling west back to your starting point will get you some of that time back, but you'll always lose as much as you gain.
