Not directly; the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun.

So you might think of the Moon's path around the Sun as an enormous spiral, like a coil spring stretched around so that the ends were joined.

How far away is Venus from Earth's moon?

The distance varies as the Moon goes round the Earth while the Earth goes round the Sun AND Venus goes round the Sun. Thus sometimes Venus and Earth are on the same side of the Sun and at other times they are on opposite sides of the Sun. Obviously then the distance changes between the two extreme configurations. The best I can do is to tell you that Venus orbits the Sun at a distance of 108,208,000 km, the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 152,100,000 km, while the Moon orbits the Earth at a distance of 405,400 km.

Does the sun go in front of the moon or does the moon go in front of the sun?

The Moon goes in front of the Sun. The Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, so when both the Moon and Sun can be seen from the Earth (i.e. they are both in the same direction) the Moon will always be closer.
