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.
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.
The International Space Station is only visible in a given place every few weeks and the times vary. Sometimes it is harder to see, like if it is passing in daylight. Lots of websites will give you information on where it is and if it is passing your area. Heavens Above is one such site.
The International Space Station will complete around 15.7 orbits of Earth on one day.
