How is a planet different from a dwarf planet and the moon?
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.

Is the moon the biggest planet in the world?
A moon is a satellite that orbits a planet. So the Moon (our moon) is not a planet but a moon.It is worth noting that, in our solar system there are bigger moons; but the Moon is the largest moon in proportion to the size of the planet. As a result, it has a more significant gravitational effect upon the Earth than do most moons. Of course, the moon governs the tides; but also it helps to stop rotational irregularities of the Earth from getting out of hand; and so the moon has been a very fortunate and calming influence for our planet.
