The moon "disappears" when it is a new moon, which is very close to the sun. During that time, the visible part of the moon is so thin that it gets washed out by the intense sunlight.

Does the shape of the moon appear the same?

The moon does have a slight wobble, and sometimes it's closer to Earth, while other times it's farther away. But the shape of the moon changes all the time - it's called "phases". Every month the moon goes from new (no moon at all), to crescent, to half full, to full - then it shrinks back to half moon, crescent, until it disappears into the sun's glare and becomes the new moon again.
