We can't be absolutely sure how long a footprint will last on the moon since it might or might not be struck by a meteoroid or other cosmic debris, but potentially it could last for billions of years. It is also possible (although I am not expecting it) that the moon will someday be colonized by people, who will then disturb the existing footprints. But then again, they might want to preserve them as monuments.
The last man on the moon was Gene Cernan on December 18, 1972.
Eugene Cernan was the last person to step foot on the moon during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.

The moon has no atmosphre- how is this important? this simple means that the moon experiences no form of erosion(agents of erosion are fuelled by the atmosphere) which poses a threat to any land mark on earth.
Yes because there are no forces on the moon to erode the foot step. That is that same reason we can leave the Apollo's on the moon.
Of course there are several.

The first set of foot prints on the moon, were those of Apollo 11 astronauts. And they will be there for years to come, as there is no wind or rain to wipe it out for good.
