Does human and dirt DNA have the same properties?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a fundamental component of life as we know it. Dirt is not an example of life. In order to be 'alive,' an object must metabolize through the intake and use of nutrients, self-perpetuate by reproduction, and adapt to its environment through endogenous changes. Dirt does not metabolize, does not reproduce, and does not adapt. Furthermore, dirt is not composed of cells, the fundamental building blocks of life as we know if, but of granules. These granules are composed mostly of silicate minerals, not living material. There may be some DNA in some dirt samples, but this DNA does not belong to the dirt, rather to something that has somehow deposited its DNA into/onto the dirt, likely through decomposition. If dirt had DNA, and that DNA had the same properties as human DNA, then dirt would look exactly like humans.

Is there dirt or gravel on the Moon?

It depends what you mean by dirt and gravel. On Earth much of the weathering which produces them depends on water. There is no nutrient rich equivalent of soil, nor water-rounded pebbles, but there is dust and breccia. (Breccia is composed of small fragments of broken rock), both of which probably result from micrometeorite impact.
