It is held in its orbit by the mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon.
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
The gravitational force between the moon and Earth keeps the moon in orbit. This force pulls the moon towards Earth, but the moon's velocity allows it to continue moving in a circular path around the Earth.
The path that the moon follows around the Earth is called an orbit. The planets going around the sun is called revolution. The moon goes around the Earth in a month.
The ORBIT of the Moon.
The Moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse. The Earth doesn't go around the Moon at all.
That would be an elliptical orbit.

No, by definition a body must revolve around the sun in its own path to be planet. The moon has a path around earth and the sun.
