If the sun suddenly vanished, hypothetically ceased to exist. Would the Earth still continue on its circular path for 8 min 20 sec? and then leave its orbit tangentially?

Basically - yes.
Otherwise moving a massive object about could be used for FTL communication, violating causality.

(There's a lot of other stuff, but I know what you are asking.)
