The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.

Probably the best known example is the asteroid "Ida" which has a moon called Dactyl.
No it does not.
The moon does not have its own moon.

The asteroid belt is shaped like a donut. The earth and moon, mars, venus, mercury and sun are all in the hole in the middle.
A moon is an object that orbits a planet or similar body. An asteroid that gets caught in orbit around a planet can be considered a moon. Most asteroids instead orbit the sun.
Mostly from asteroid impacts. The moon has no atmosphere to impede an asteroid's approach, or to disturb the land contours after it has landed, so the craters remain permanently visible.
yes and no there is no one moon so size is bigger or smaller depending what moon your looking at

Earthβs Moon is far from the Astroid belt. However, the main belt astroid Ida has its own moon called Dactyl.
No. An asteroid can get captured by an asteroid and become a moon, but not the moon. Our moon is too large to be considered an asteroid.

No, its an asteroid but it has a moon called Dactyl
Dactyl is a moon of the asteroid Ida located in the asteroid belt.
No. The moon is large enough that even a collision with the solar system's largest asteroid would not destroy it.
Theory suggests that it is a remnant of a large asteroid that struck the Earth
Asteroid's hitting the moon is a completely random event. However, if an asteroid was flying past the moon, gravity may pull it towards the surface.
It isn't a moon; 90 Antiope is a double asteroid.
