This is common for most moons. - Assuming that the Moon ever rotated faster than now, over time it would have rotated slower and slower, due to tidal forces. (Similarly, if it rotated slower, such tidal forces would have make it rotate faster.) Similarly, the Earth's rotation slows down over time, and in a far future, it will always face the same side to the Moon.
second, minute, hour, day, month, year!
If the Earth rotated at a slower rate, the days and nights will be longer. There would be an increase in temperatures which could lead to greater pressure gradients and stronger and more violent winds and hurricanes. The Earth's flora and fauna would have to evolve and adapt to the changes, otherwise life will start to die out.

If the earth did not mood it would always be dark. It would also be cold.
A theory says that time would be quicker.
The days would be shorter. Objects would be slightly less heavy, but not noticeably.
Yes. You can loose all your weight but if it happened you would also die.
No.
we would go back in time

Those who were tied down to the surface would suffocate, since the Earth's atmosphere would be lost. Those who were NOT tied down to the surface would quickly leave it, as they continued moving in a straight line and the surface rotated away from them. On the bright side, however, nobody would fall out of bed.

If it had always rotated the other way things would probably be similar although the continents might not have identical shapes to what they are now *************************************** When a vehicle suddenly stops, the passengers are thrown forward - it is called momentum. If the earth suddenly reversed its spinning, the momentum of the worlds oceans would surge forward and completely wash over the land.
