Yes they do.

No, since the moon has no atmosphere, a stellar map of the moon's constellations would not be useful for navigation or orientation on its surface. The lack of atmosphere means that there is no twinkling of stars and the sky appears pitch black, with stars visible all around, making it difficult to discern constellations.
There isn't a single ruler of all the constellations. Different cultures and belief systems have their own interpretations of the stars and constellations, each with their own unique stories and figures. In astrology, different constellations are associated with different zodiac signs and rulers.
No, a moon constellation map would not be needed on the moon because constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth. The moon's lack of a substantial atmosphere also means that stars would appear much brighter and clearer without the need for a map.
No, Luna is not a constellation. Luna refers to the Earth's moon. Constellations are groups of stars that form recognizable patterns in the sky.

yeah but they wont be in the same orientation

Using a star map could potentially be useful as we used the stars to navigate in the times before advanced technology. Since the distance between the Earth and the moon is tiny compared to the distance between stars the constellations you see from the moon are exactly the same ones you see from Earth.
yes, they do. The planets wander through the constellations of the zodiac, as do the moon and sun. They all travel on a very narrow path of sky called the Ecliptic - and the constellations along the ecliptic are the constellations of the zodiac. Zodiac is a Greek word that means "ring of animals".
There are 12 constellations that the moon passes in front of. They are not all exactly the same size. On average, the moon would be about 2 days and 7 hours in front of each constellation.
Different constellations, groupings of stars, are visible during different points in the earth's elliptical cycle. So, on some nights, the angles between the stars and earth do not allow for a good view of certain constellations. Another factor in visibility of cosmic structures is the fact that the moon is considerably larger and closer than many stars. Light pollution also accounts for obscuring the view of many stars and constellations.
"Constellations" translates to "constellations" in French.
