Which side of the moon is illuminated the east or the west?
The side of the moon that is illuminated is always the side that is facing the sun. Whether you perceive that as facing east or west depends on the phase of the moon and the time of day that you observe it. If the moon is in its first quarter and you observe it in the evening, the side that faces west (toward the setting sun) is illuminated. If the moon is in its third quarter and you observe it in the morning, the side that faces east (toward the rising sun) is illuminated.

Were does the Moon go when it is morning?
The moon is often visible in the morning, particularly during the waning phases. The time the moon rises and sets depends entirely on it's phase, thus it is not really possible to see a waxing moon during the morning (except when the first quarter moon rises). The two best phases of the moon to see in the morning is the Third Quarter moon and the Waning Crescent moon - since the Waning Gibbous moon sets shortly after sunrise.

The shadow of the moon is exactly opposite where the sun is. Both the sun and moon are moving, so the shadow will move as well. Just imagine where the sun is (west of you in the evening, right under your feet at midnight, or to the east in the early morning) and the moon's shadow will make sense.
