No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.

When Venus is in its full phase, Earth would appear in its new phase as seen by a hypothetical Venetian. This is because the position of Earth in relation to the Sun would cause it to appear fully illuminated from Venus, similar to how Venus appears fully illuminated from Earth during its full phase.
When you can see more than one phase of the moon at the same time, it's likely a waxing gibbous or waning gibbous phase. This occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not fully full or new.
The phase of the Earth's satellite, the Moon, changes as it orbits the Earth. The primary phases are new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. These phases are determined by the position of the Moon relative to the Earth and the Sun.

No. The Moons phases are determined by the relative angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The changing position of the moon in the sky is because of the Earth's rotation, so is dependent on the time of day.

Yes, the moon's orbit around Earth affects the moon phase. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle between the sun, moon, and Earth change, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated by sunlight, resulting in the different moon phases we observe.
Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.
