The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say. Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.
The moon is a satellite not a planet.

A moon must orbit a planet, or it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
