What happens if the man in black gets off the island?

If the Man in Black (MiB) got off the island, it would trigger the destruction of the island and likely lead to the end of the world, as he's intrinsically tied to the island's source of light, and his departure requires snuffing out that light, which, according to his mother, means "it goes out everywhere," ending all life. He couldn't leave as a smoke monster; he'd have to become mortal by removing the cork (Desmond's role), and once mortal, he'd be free to leave but without his powers, though his escaping in mortal form would still cause catastrophe because the island's power source would be gone.

Why could the Man in Black not leave the island?

The Man in Black (MiB) couldn't leave the island because after his mother threw him into the Heart of the Island's electromagnetic source, his consciousness fused with it, binding him to the island, and he became the smoke monster. He was trapped as the entity protecting the island, unable to leave unless the source was destroyed, which would also destroy the world's electromagnetism, or if Jacob (the protector) died and he could take his place by killing all the candidates.

Why was Penny in the church at the end of Lost?

Penny was in the church at the end of Lost because the "flash-sideways" events were a purgatorial meeting place where all the main characters, including those who died at different times, gathered after living full lives to "move on" to the afterlife together, with Penny being a crucial part of Desmond's journey and life. She was there because she was part of the core group, even though she wasn't an original crash survivor, as she was Desmond's "constant" and essential to his story, and the church symbolized saying goodbye to their past lives before moving on.

No, the events on the island in Lost were real, not a dream, but the show's flash-sideways timeline in Season 6 was a form of afterlife/ purgatory where the characters met after they all died at different times, both on and off the island, to move on together, as explained by showrunners and the series finale. Everything that happened on the island genuinely occurred; the flash-sideways was a separate, spiritual journey for the characters after their lives concluded.
