No. The position the Moon has to be in for a full Moon is completely different than for a new moon. When we have a full Moon the Moon is on the opposite side of us to the Sun. When we have a new Moon, the Moon is on the same side of us as the Sun. It takes about 2 weeks for the Moon to go between those two positions, so it is not possible for it to happen on the same day.

Why can we see moon on a full moon day while it is not visible on a new moon day?
Moonlight is reflected sunlight. When the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth the face of the moon we can see is illuminated and it is a full moon. When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth then the side of the moon away from us is illuminated.
Why are tides greater at the times of the full and new moons and at the times of lunar and solar eclipses?
Full Moons and New Moons are "eclipse season", since eclipses happen only at those times. They are the times when the sun earth and moon are closest to being in a straight line. So the tidal effects of the moon and the sun are working together. The sun's tidal effects on the earth are not very strong compared to the moon's, but they do have the effect of adding to the lunar tides as these times.

Yes. Everybody looking at the moon at the same time sees the same shape. When you think about it ... you can take the calendar or the newspaper and look up the date of the full moon.
