Apollo 11 left Earth's orbit after achieving a velocity of approximately 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour). This speed was necessary to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and enter a trajectory toward the Moon. The spacecraft executed a Trans-Lunar Injection burn to achieve this velocity after completing its initial Earth orbit.
Apollo 11 orbited the moon 10 times before landing.

It took 3 days for Apollo 11 to reach the Moon after leaving Earth orbit.
Yes Apollo 11 did orbit the moon before it landed on the moon.

It left for the moon on July 16, 1969
