The moon rotates around the Earth, and as it does so the Earth is rotating around the sun. So yes, along with the Earth the moon does go around the sun.

Yes; its orbit is around the Earth, but the Earth goes around the Sun. If the Moon goes with Earth then it has to go around the Sun too.

No. A lunar eclipse is when the earth passes between the moon and the sun, and the earth's shadow is cast upon the moon.
