In the same way that earth has gravity that attracts objects, the objects have gravity that attracts earth. See also Newton’s third law, also known as “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” - for the earth to attract something, the earth also has to be attracted with the same force. It’s just that the earth has a lot more mass, so the force barely accelerates it.
Can someone explain how the Earth accelerates towards an object? Is this just because objects with mass attract things?
You got it.

Yes. And that force is proportional to acceleration so it accelerates earth
