How high would the lunar return module of the Apollo lander be able to go if it left from the surface of the earth?

The ascent engine could only lift the ascent stage in lunar gravity, where is had 1/6 of it's earth weight.  On earth, the stage and fuel weighed around 10,000 pounds.  The engine had a thrust of 3,500 pounds.  So, the answer to your question is it would not even lift off.
