If earth's escape velocity is 11.2km/s, what would happen if you traveled upwards at exactly 11.1km/s?

Also what does escape velocity of 42.1km/s with respect to the sun mean?

If you *constantly* move away from the Earth (which is what you seem to be asking about) at any speed, you would escape Earth's gravity. Given that you'd be moving against gravity, maintaining that speed requires propulsion.  

But that's not what escape velocity is. Escape velocity is the speed given while at the surface, sufficient to escape gravity *without further propulsion*.
