Yes it is. On the average, the moon rises after the sun
by about 50 minutes for each day past New Moon.
No. In the third quarter phase, the Moon rises about midnight and is half-illuminated.
During the moon's crescent phases, the earth is at the vertex of an acute angle formed with the sun and moon. Another way to look at it is that during the crescent phases, the moon is always less than 90° away from the sun in our sky. Also, it rises and sets within 6 hours of the sun.
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.
Full Moon and New Moon phases.
The NASA web site has a table of phases of the Moon at http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/phases-moon It doesn't matter where YOU are for the phases of the Moon; this table is the same for everyone.

The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.

From New Moon until Full Moon, the moon rises less than 12 hours after the sun.From Full Moon until New Moon, the moon rises less than 12 hours before the sun.
No. In the third quarter phase, the Moon rises about midnight and is half-illuminated.
If you are referring to lunar phases, there are two phases in which the moon is not visible to the earth. In the New Moon and Dark Moon lunar phases, the moon is not visible to those on earth. See related links for more information.
The moon is often visible in the morning, particularly during the waning phases. The time the moon rises and sets depends entirely on it's phase, thus it is not really possible to see a waxing moon during the morning (except when the first quarter moon rises). The two best phases of the moon to see in the morning is the Third Quarter moon and the Waning Crescent moon - since the Waning Gibbous moon sets shortly after sunrise.

It is because the Moon orbits the Earth. Click on the "related link" below for details. On that link, click the heading "Moon Phases Explained".

Yes, as the moon is orbiting the Earth, the moon rises and sets at different times each day or night. All of the waxing moon phases (i.e. waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous) rise during the daytime before sunset.
