It actually doesn't. It is an optical illusion. It happens because when it is lower down, there are more things to compare it to along the horizon. When it is higher up, it is out on its own so it looks smaller.
The moon rises and sets everyday just like the sun. The moon rises on the east and sets on the west which is similar to the sun.
Yes due to air clarity and lack or presence of pollution, a setting sun generally appears to be larger due to magnification, and also depending on location it is viewed.
Things like the moon, sun, planets and stars "rise" and "set" because Earth rotates. As Earth turns, lights in the sky appear to rise in the East and set in the West.
If it's a full moon, the answer is yes. A waxing moon rises before sunset and a waning moon rises after sunset. A new moon rises about the same time as the sun.
Yes moon rise and set clockwise.
When does the moon set and rise

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west.
The moon is not actually forced to rise, but appears to be rising because of the orbit of the moon and the rotation of the earth. The movement of the planets and the moon makes them appear to rise and set.

No. The Moon tends to rise about 50 minutes later every day.

For the same reason that the Sun and the Moon rise and set. That's the result of Earth's rotation.
