The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.


How is gravity about the same on Mars and Mercury?

Well, honey, gravity ain't picky - it's the same everywhere! Both Mars and Mercury have gravity, but Mars is a bit heavier with about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth, while Mercury is even lighter with about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth. So, technically, they're both playing in the same gravity sandbox, just with different sized buckets.


What planet has the force of gravity here that has less than half of the pull exerted by gravity on earth?

I'm not sure if it's half or not, probably less, but the only possibility would be Mercury. True. Mercury is the only one. Gravity on Mercury's surface is 37% of what it is on Earth. Except for Mars, where it's 38% of its value on Earth. Mercury and Mars are the only ones. Except for Pluto, where it's 4% of its value on Earth.
