Answer 1

It wouldn't, because the Moon isn't in geostationary orbit. The "cable" would get all wrapped around the equator.

Answer 2

For an actual description of a space elevator (which is a scientifically viable concept) please see the Related Links below.

The Lunar Elevator would go from the surface of the moon to a specific point in space where the gravity and centrifugal forces are equal. There would be an Earth elevator that does similarly and then a much easier trip would be had in the vacuum of space between the two "drop-off" points. Most fuel used currently to get from Earth to the moon is to break out of Earth's atmosphere and to slow the descent to the moon (and vice versa)

In most states it's not legal to work on an elevator without the proper certification. The only exception would be industrial equipment not intended to carry people can be installed and maintained by the company. If an elevator carries a person you have to consult your state and local laws, but they're almost certainly going to say that unqualified persons can not work on one.
