I don't think so, i have read information about that and didn't see any text about such opportunity :/
but, you musn't think only through money fact. Full node it's very important moment, 'cause everyone who runs full node provides decentralization in the network.
more nodes = better decentralization.

None of the above. All of these proposals are for layer 2 solutions: things that operate on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. This means that full node operators do not need to operate nodes for these things and they will not be compensated if any of these go live. None of them affect anything with Bitcoin itself so full nodes are not affected.

I have heard running a node can earn you bitcoins ? Is this true ? If so how ?
Seems different to mining. Which earns more ?

No, running a node cannot earn you any Bitcoin. Mining is completely different from running a node and from any of the above proposals. Given that none of the above proposals have been deployed, mining will earn you more, but not very much.
