Does the current pope believe in evolution?

I am uncertain of what the current pope specifically "believes" regarding the current Theory of Evolution, but what I can say is that the Theory of Evolution poses no challenge to the Catholic Faith. I can say that the current pope, whatever he personally believes regarding the Theory of Evolution would say that the current theory of evolution poses no challenge to the Catholic Faith. Because the Theory of Evolution is a Scientific Claim, and not a theological claim, the Church cannot make a judgment as to the truth or falsity of the Theory. Matters pertaining to Science are outside the purview of the judgment of the Church, because the Church was not established to discover Scientific Truth.

Which theory is supported most by the finding that the moon is similar in composition to the outer portions of the earth?

The "giant impact" theory. The most popular current theory of the Moon's formation is that during the early times of our solar system very shortly after its formation, another planet perhaps as large as Mars collided with the proto-Earth. The cores of the two planets merged (resulting in the unusually massive iron core of the Earth) and the debris blasted into space by the collision partly fell back to Earth and partly formed the Moon.
