Depending on the phase of the moon and how dense the clouds are you may see a diffuse light behind the clouds.
Sometimes, it's simply just too cloudy to see the moon. Sometimes, there's a lunar eclipse, and for x minutes, the moon appears to not exist.
Clear nights often mean high pressure sytems which often means cold air. Cloudy nights often mean low pressure systems which often mean warm air.
To the person writing this, the moon looked like a ship (galleon) moving on clouds that were like a rough sea.
The answer depends on where you live and how much light pollution there is. In areas with few artificial lights (street lights, house lights) then if the moon's not visible then it will be dark, if the moon AND the stars arent visible (like due to clouds) then it will be darker, still. In cities, clouds usually reflect the light from street lights back down to the earth so depending on how much your city/town is lit up, it might actually be brighter on a cloudy night!
Warmer, they have a greenhouse effect and trap heat.
Yes, and there still will be. Cloudy nights can obscure the moon. Depending on the phases, a new Moon will not be visible as the Sun isn't shining on the half that you can see. Finally, although rare, lunar eclipses (where the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon) hide the Moon.

Arizona has 52 cloudy nights (annual average over the last 32 years). This means (on average), that it is cloudy a little bit more than once a week with accurate measurements.
Yes. Even on slightly cloudy nights it is possible to see Jupiter with the naked eye.At the moment, Jupiter can be seen to the SW of the Moon and is clearly visible without binoculars.
