No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."

If you lived on mars which planets would never be visible as crescent phases?

To see a crescent on a planet, most of the surface that is facing you must be dark. For this to happen the planet must be between the sun and you. Planets that are further away from the sun therefore will never have a crescent phase when viewed from Mars.

Does Mars go through phases similar to the moon?

Only partly. We never see Mars in a crescent or new phase, just the full and gibbous phases. That's because Mars is farther away from the Sun than the Earth is, so we never see it "inside" our orbit. On the other hand, we see the crescent and gibbous phases of the planet Venus, but never the full or new phases, because when Venus would be "new", it's too close to the Sun to be observed - and when Venus would be "full", it's on the other side of the Sun, and not visible!

When we left Mars why did we bring all of the water here?

No person has ever been to Mars. No spacecraft has ever surveyed Mars and returned to earth. No spacecraft has ever landed on Mars and lifted off again. No liquid water has ever been observed on Mars, and no samples have ever been removed from its surface. In conclusion, we frankly don't know what the question is talking about.
