Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction.
That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
No, not all moons orbit their planets anticlockwise. The direction of a moon's orbit depends on various factors, including its formation history and the dynamics of the planetary system. While many moons in our solar system do orbit in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above their planet's north pole, there are exceptions, such as Triton, Neptune's largest moon, which orbits in a retrograde direction.

The moon orbits Earth.
The moon orbits Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This means it moves from west to east in its orbit. However, if viewed from the South Pole, the moon would appear to orbit in a clockwise direction.
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
The direction of the moon revolution around the earth is from left to right. This is also known as anticlockwise motion.

The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise

The Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun. The Moon is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old and travels in an elliptical orbit around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole.

The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
When the moon is full, it's "behind" the earth, that is, in the direction opposite the sun. The three bodies are lined up, with the earth in the middle, like this: Sun ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth -- Moon
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
