If the earth were suddenly sliced in half would gravity hold the two pieces together?

Another question, would the pressure at the earth's core be released and destroy the entire world in a giant volcanic eruption?

I'd say yes to the first and no to the second question.

There is practically nothing but gravity holding our planet together now. It's not a solid sphere anyway, so even "slicing it in half" would probably not make a difference.

So, in conclusion, if we were to suddenly cut Earth in half... nothing would happen.
