Yes. The lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, so from the "first quarter" moon (in which one half of the lunar surface is illuminated) to the full moon is 7 days and a few hours.
A full cycle - e.g., from full moon to full moon - is about 29 1/2 days. From new moon to full moon is half that time.A full cycle - e.g., from full moon to full moon - is about 29 1/2 days.

No. Only half of the moon is illuminated at any one time. During a full moon, the half facing Earth is fully illuminated.
New moon to New moon takes 29.53 days. During this time the moon goes through several phases; (New moon) Waxing crescent moon (First quarter moon - half moon) Waxing gibbous moon (Full moon) Waning gibbous moon (Last quarter moon - half moon) Waning crescent moon (Dark moon) So roughly 7.5 days between each; New-half, half-full, full-half, half-new.
It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
Approximately two weeks. The lunar cycle is just about 29.5 days, and the time from a new moon to a full moon would be half that.
No, it is from one full moon to the next full moon, roughly 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 3 seconds.
At a full moon, 100% of the visible surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun. Half of the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun, and half of the Moon is visible from Earth. But they're not usually the same half. At a full moon, they are. This happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are approximately lined up in the sky. If the alignment is exact, we'll have a lunar eclipse because the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow, which is the only time that less than half of the Moon is lit up.
No. When the moon is full, it appears half-the-sky away from the sun, so it can't be in the sky at the same time that the sun is.
The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
After the moon is full, an observer on Earth will start to see less of the moon's sunlight hemisphere, we refer to this as "waning". By the time a week passes after a given full moon, the moon's phase will be close to Third Quarter and half of the moon will be illuminated.
Sunlight is always falling on the moon and illuminating exactly half of it. That doesn't change.However, we're usually not in a place where we can see the entire lighted half of the moon.When we do happen to be in a position to see it all, that's when we call it a "Full Moon".
