It rises in the east and sets in the west. As with the sun and planets, it follows the same path as the sun in the sky (more or less) as the earth rotates once every 24 hours.
The moon orbits the Earth once a month. By obseving its position in the sky at the same time every day from one day to the next (e.g. every night at 9.00), you can see how is slowly progresses around the earth.

How will you describe the moon when it is in the general direction of the sun?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing the Earth.So, whatever direction you name, there is some place on the Moon from which the Earth appears in that direction, and if the observer doesn't move to a different place on the Moon, then the Earth doesn't move either. It's always in the same direction. The concept of "Earth rise" or "Earth set" does not apply on the Moon.(This video from Apollo 8 came as the spacecraft was circling the Moon in orbit.)Note that for about half of the Moon's surface (the far side), the Earth is never visible. During the full moon, very little of Earth is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from the Moon.
