The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is 27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes to complete one full revolution around the Earth, is exactly the same. That's why the Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon and never get to view the far side from Earth.
Yes.
27.32 days.

A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
27.32 days (rounded)
29 Earth days.
27.3 days.

The moon spins once on its axis every month; one sidereal period around earth is equal to one complete rotation on its axis. If the moon did not rotate, all of its surface would be visible from earth over the course of a month.

The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is around 27 days. That's the reason why the moon appears stationary from Earth.
The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one rotation on its axis. This period is known as its sidereal rotation period and is the same as its orbital period around the Earth.

because of the tilt of both the moon and the earth on their rotation axis
no and yes
Yes.
