Yes. They can hit anywhere on the moon.
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.
Meteors hit the moon fairly frequently due to its lack of atmosphere to burn them up before impact. The Moon's surface is covered with impact craters, evidence of past meteor strikes. On average, it is estimated that the Moon is hit by meteors about 2800 times per year.

Do they? I don't believe this is known. I have not been able to find any real estimate for the numbers of meteorites hitting the Moon or the Earth so a comparison is kind of unwarranted.However, I would expect more meteorites to hit the Moon than the Earth *per unit surface area* because the Moon has very little atmosphere. A lot of meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere without ever reaching the Earth's surface because they burn up in the air. The Moon has no such protective covering and so will be hit by all the meteors that head its way.
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.

This is because meteors hit the moon and cause craters.

it has been hit with many meteors
The spots are craters left over from meteors that hit the moon.
More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.
it has been hit with many meteors
No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.
Flying debris in space, such as meteors, hit the moon and it forms craters.
Asteroids, meteors, comets, or some type of space rock that hit the Moon and causes the crater.
