Yes; in fact, if you see the entire Moon at New Moon, the fact that the dark part is visibile at all is because of the light reflected back from Earth to the Moon. However, for most practical purposes, the amount of light that comes back to Earth is insignificant.

How can astronomers see the far side of the moon?

The moon always keeps the same "side" facing Earth, which also means that the other half of its surface is always facing away from Earth. The only ways to see that side are: -- Send a robotic spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have it photograph the back side when it's there, and then send those photos to Earth when it comes back around to our side. -- Send people in a spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have them photograph the back side when they're there, and then send those photos to Earth when they come back around to our side, or else save them up and bring the photos back to Earth with them.
