Gravity is the force holding the Moon to the Earth. Without gravity, the Moon would go flying off into space.
Without gravity, the EARTH would go spinning off into space.
Heck, without gravity, all of US would go spinning off into space.
Gravity.
The mass of the moon is attracted to the mass of the earth, as defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation)
The reason it doesn't smash into the earth is because of the momentum it already has carrying it away from earth. Any object in space orbiting another has found a perfect balance between speed away from the center object, and mutual attraction of the objects. For example the earth around the sun, or the moon around the earth.
Moon is attracted by the Earth; this (gravitational) force is what keeps the Earth in movement. Another aspect that is important is inertia; this can be expressed by Newton's Second Law. Inertia isn't precisely a force; but it is important to consider it when talking about orbits.

The planets have an orbital velocity, which they don't loose since there is no air resistance or any other forces to slow them down over time.
That would be the mutual gravitational force that attracts the earth and sun to each other.
The force is gravitational force.

The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
In that case, the Moon would move in a straight line instead of moving around the Earth; it would quickly get away.

gravity attracts the moon to the earth, us to the earth, the sun to the earth, the earth to the sun, and every piece of mater to every other piece of matter.
You can replicate the effects of increased gravity through speed. If you are in a moving vehicle which suddenly stops, you will get thrown forward, which is partially due to increased gravitational force or g-force. If you are on a fast-moving ride at a funfair, you experience increased gravity.
incorrect. The farther away from earth a galaxy is, the faster it is moving.

gravity pulls the earth into position so it doesn't move away and gravity is what holds us down onto the earth as well.
Objects fall because of gravity a force that keeps us on earth and stops us from floating away.
the force that tends to make a moving bodies fly away to the center of rotation

No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
