Does the moon have an axis?
Yes, but not in the ordinary sense. The moon is gravitationally locked to the Earth, meaning it doesn't rotate independently along an imaginary line passing through its poles. As the Earth both rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun, the moon's orientation along that imaginary line changes with respect to the ecliptic every 27.3 days, so the moon can be said to rotate on that axis.
Why does the big dipper appear to change its position during the year?
Because the Earth spins on its axis and shows different parts of the sky.
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
The Earth's magnetic field is tilted about 11.5 degrees from the Earth's axis of rotation (i.e. its geographic axis).

Does sunlight follow earth's axis?
Sunlight does not follow the Earth's axis. The Earth's seasons are determined, in part, by the Sun's position to the Earth's axis.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
