Yes. You can see the 8 major ones with a moderate telescope.

Astronauts see the Earth from the Moon as a bright, colorful sphere in the distance. The Earth appears much larger than the Moon does from Earth and cannot be seen as a flat disc. The view offers a unique perspective of our planet hanging in the vastness of space.
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.

No one would have discovered that Titan was the largest moon of Saturn until all the other moons were found. See related question for who discovered Titan.
It varies, but the semi-major axis of Titan's orbit is about 1.22 million km. The actual distance between them would be slightly less, since Saturn itself has an equatorial radius of about 60,000 km.
Yes, Saturn can be seen from Titan, which is one of Saturn's moons. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and is known for its thick atmosphere and unique features. From Titan's surface, Saturn would appear as a bright object in the sky, similar to how we see the Moon from Earth.
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
We see a crescent moon.
To see the Earth, look down. To see the Moon, you have to be outside and look at the sky. Note that the Moon is not always above the horizon.
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
The earth.
From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
