Is this really how it works? I thought gravity only worked in 'one' direction, but... I was gonna use a magnet as an example but then I realised that a magnet follows the rules you just said.

I think gravity does work like that, as you said, in one direction. Hypothetically, if you could pass through the core unscathed, I think it is generally accepted that you would swing back and forth, gradually losing momentum until come to a full stop at the center. If you had absolutely no mass then I suppose it would happen as JAP said, but I don't think earth's gravitational forces are strong enough to bring your momentum down to zero instantly at the center. Could be completely wrong though.
