The Moon phase when only a sliver of light can be seen is known as the crescent phase. It occurs in the second phase, known as the Waxing Crescent Moon, and in the last phase, known as the Waning Crescent Moon.

It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
