Moons always orbit planets unlike meteorites which orbit stars.
There could be sedimentary rocks on the Moon, the processes forming them would be different from those on the earth but it is possible that there are processes moving and layering Moon dust which could be regarded as a sediment. However, in general there is no erosion or deposition happening on the Moon as it does on Earth and therefore no rocks formed as a result of these processes.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
Meteorites originate as asteroids from space. They are loose rocks that have been formed in the pre-planetary era or have been chipped off of a larger body such as a planet or moon by impact. When they encounter Earth's atmosphere they become meteroids, when they light up due to friction they become meteors, when they impact Earth's surface, they are meteorites.
Moon fragments could be part of the moon as well as external bodies that have hit the lunar surface such as asteroids and meteorites.
Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.
It is hit by meteorites.

answ2. Many parameters, but I'd think that iron meteorites would be high on the list. Or meteorites known to have come from the Moon or Mars.The rarest dimond is the red dimond

From meteorites hitting it.
Mostly not. When a piece of space rock hits the Moon, it causes a crater, which splashes rocks and dust all around it. It would have to be a VERY large rock to hit the Moon and splash rocks all the way to the EARTH. But it has happened! We have found meteorites that are distinctly lunar in origin. Even more amazing, we have found meteorites that we now believe may have come from MARS. Sometime in the distant past, an asteroid or comet slammed into Mars, and splashed rocks clear out into solar orbit - and then they ran into the Earth.
The impact craters on the moon's surface are obvious clues to the fact that meteorites have crashed into our natural satellite. that tell us that the moon doesn't have oxygen because if it have oxygen the meteorites would burn
yes. The craters you see with the naked eye looking at the moon are from meteors striking the moon. meteorites are what is left of a meteor that has already struck a large body (such as a planet or moon)
Lunar rocks are those forming the Moon - as the word 'lunar' says. Earth rocks are formed on Earth - but the rock forming the Moon is also a constituent of the Earth.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts.

A mascon, from the words mass concentration, is an area of the Moon where the rock just below the surface is much more dense than the surrounding rocks. These are believed to be the result of Iron meteorites smashing into the Moon.
