Is this why people who move more live longer?

Great question, but no. The effect of our movement is absolutely not able to be perceived, even over a lifetime. That is how minuscule it is.

BUT theoretically speaking, if we could get someone moving fast enough or close enough to a massive object for enough time, they would absolutely outlive their peers.

Having said that, moving more is great for your overall health and well-being, even if it's just a daily walk around the park.

The Earth is moving through space at 390kilometers per second.

If they Earth stopped moving through space (and ignoring all other issues that would cause) we would be moving through time quicker? Do we have the length of time to exist because of the earth travelling 1.2million miles per hour?

They have to offset geosatellite by millisecond every so often whist for going slight fast then us on the surface.

Time is relative. That's just your perspective, man.

From my perspective, I won't ever meet anyone born later than me that ends up older than I get before I die.
