They aren't. The earth has a molten core, the moon has a solid core. The earth has an atmosphere, the moon doesn't. The earth is comprised mainly of water, the moon is comprised only of rock (with speculation that there might be small frozen deposits of lunar water sitting in craters).

I suppose the only similarities would be shape (sort of), the fact that they orbit around something larger than themselves, they both produce gravity and the fact that they are both a part of the same solar system.

Both are large, dense bodies orbiting the Sun in regular elliptical orbits. The minerals on the Moon contain many of the same elements found in the crust of the Earth, suggesting they may have been part of the same body shortly after the solar system formed. Both rotate and experience regular surface periods of daylight (day and night), and either can experience an eclipse by the other. Both have had water brought to them by collisions with other bodies (on the Moon it is all ice deep in craters). Humans have walked on and studied both bodies, although only 12 humans have so far been to the Moon. Both are regularly observed by satellites.

It is thought that the Moon was once part of the Earth itself but formed after a major collision with the Earth ejected tons of material out into space. That material coalesced and became the Moon.

the movement of the earth is similar to the movement of the moon because they both orbit in circles

Draw a free body diagram for the moon?

If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).
