The capsule on the tip of the rocket detaches when it leaves the atmosphere of earth, lands on the moon, then the capsule blasts off the moon and lands in the ocean in a "splashdown".

Because if they landed nose-first they'd crash, unacceptable given the cost to build them and unthinkable on manned flights. The landing gear is at the base of the rocket, bear in mind also that manned missions need to return to earth so a nose-dive into the moon is impractical.
The rockets that carried astronauts to the moon were the Saturn V rockets. Specifically, Apollo 11, the first mission to land humans on the moon, launched with a Saturn V rocket.
Rockets can land back on Earth at designated landing sites, on drone ships in the ocean, or can be designed to land on other celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars. The specific landing location depends on the mission requirements and the capabilities of the rocket.
No, all Apollo missions successfully landed back on Earth after completing their missions to the moon.
