The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day. The sun can tell us the earth is moving as we can see shadows on people and objects moving around telling us something has to be moving. It has been scientificly proven that is not the Sun or "Sol" so we know it is the Earth.

Why does the moon look different from week to week?
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth

A lunar eclipse is the result of the Moon moving into the Earth's shadow, so the Earth would be directly between the Sun and the Moon.
Is the sun and moon moving to earth?
No. The moon is very gradually moving away from earth, though it amounts to inches a century. The relative positions of the sun and earth are fairly stable, but the sun is slowly expanding. The expansion is only visually noticeable on a 500 million year long basis, but the earth will eventually be closer to the sun for that reason.

Do the earth and the moon move at the same speed?
As far as their motion around the Sun, they would have to, in order for the Earth and Moon to stay together. However, because the Moon is also moving around the Earth, they do not have exactly the same (vector) velocities at any time. (The Moon is 400 times farther from the Sun than from the Earth, so it is mostly affected by the Earth's gravity, not the Sun's.)
