full moon
Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.

The very first phase of the moon is called new moon. You cannot see it in the sky because it is not reflecting the sun's light. The full moon is when you can see the entire side of the moon, which is just reflecting the sun's light. The other phases are the intermediate steps between new-to-full, and then full-to-new. Usually the term phase refers to the appearance of the moon except the way its appearance changes during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses always occur during the full moon phase.
Yes, just 12 hours later [or earlier, as the case may be]. At any moment, everybody who can see the moon sees the same shape. (And that can be day or night.)
Two weeks after the waning gibbous phase of the moon you will see a new moon.

After a waning moon one gets a new moon.

If you are standing on the full moon you would be facing the earth at night.
