The moons diameter is approximately 25 % the size of earth. So the Earth is approximately 4 times the diameter of the moon.

That really doesn't do justice to how much larger the Earth actually is however since increasing the diameter by 4 increases the overall landmass by substantially more than this.

In relative terms the surface area of the moon if laid out flat is slightly larger than the land mass of the continent of Africa.

No, the mountains on the Moon are not as big as those on Earth. The tallest mountain on the Moon, Mons Huygens, is about 5,249 meters tall, whereas Mount Everest on Earth is over 8,848 meters tall. This difference is mainly due to the smaller size and lower gravity of the Moon compared to Earth.


How big can the moon get and why that size?

The size of the moon is a result of its formation and the gravitational forces acting on it. The moon's size is determined by factors such as its distance from Earth, its composition, and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The moon's size will not drastically change, as it is in a stable orbit.
