The waxing phase of the moon is the time when more of the moon is shown each night until it is a full moon. It then goes into its waning phase where less of it shows until it is a new moon where it is not visible in the night sky.
The phase of the moon that is close to long is the crescent
new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it lies closest to the Sun in the sky as seen from the Earth
The moon takes ~28 days (27.3 specifically) to move through all it's 8 phases, meaning it spends about three and a half days in each phase.
No. There is a full moon every 29.53 days. This is the synodic period of the moon, based on the length of time it takes to go from on phase to the next repetition of the same phase.
The complete cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days. How long each phase lasts depends on how many different shapes you have names for. That's a lot like asking "What's the length of each section of a 1-foot string ?"
About 29.5 days.

That depends on what phase the moon is currently in. The moon goes through each phase once per 29.53 days.
