The moon revolves around the earth. It rotates on its axis, about once per month, because the moon is tidally locked to the earth.

Do the earth and moon rotate with each other?

It all depends on where you're standing. On Earth, you can see only one side of the Moon, so you can say that the Moon does NOT rotate relative to Earth. BUT as you watch the Moon all month long, you can see that different parts of it are Sun-lit at different times, so you can also say that the Moon DOES rotate relative to the Sun. Earth definitely rotates with respect to both Moon and Sun. As for 'rotating with each other', no; they both REVOLVE together around the Sun, but they can never ROTATE together. Rotation is a ball spinning, and revolution is the ball's path around a larger, heavier ball. Since the Earth and Moon are two separate balls, each has its own rotation, but they can both share revolution around the Sun.
