If you could somehow stand on Jupiter's surface and observe Ganymede (and any of the other moons,) then yes, they would exhibit the same phases as earth's moon.

No, the phases of the moon are caused by the sun's light hitting the moon at different angles when viewed from Earth. The Earth's shadow is what causes a lunar eclipse.
