According to a recent article from VOA News, scientists believe that the earth and the moon share the same water source and as such, the moon is part of the water cycle. Scientists aren't quite sure how yet, but they are researching it.

It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
