As old as the moon, or younger. Probably most were remnants of asteroids or pieces of moon that were blown off when an asteroid collided with it.
Scientifically? 4.6 billion years old.
842 pounds (382 kg) combined total from all Apollo missions.
The lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions were estimated to be around 3.9 billion years old. These rock samples provided valuable insights into the early formation and history of the moon.
All of the missions that actually landed brought back moon rocks . These were the missions of Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The Apollo 17 mission was of particular importance geologically, because one of the astronauts, Harrison Schmidt, was a geologist.
The Apollo 11 mission brought back samples of moon rocks and soil. These samples were collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during their historic lunar landing.
Not sure Apollo II did, I think it was later flights, but yes they brought rocks back. Even to day some have never been analyzed.

The Lunar craft crashed on the moon, they did not bring it back to earth.

The Earth has lots of tectonic activity, by which I mean earthquakes and volcanoes, which the moon does not have. Rocks can survive longer on the moon.
Apollo 11 (AS-506)This was the first lunar landing mission and included the crew members Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin. Mission Duration: approximately 8 days - 195 hr 18 min 35 sec. Moon rock sample mass returned: 21.7 kgconverted to lbs: 47.8
They brought back samples of moon sand and moon rocks.
The following Apollo mission each brought moon rocks back to earth, they were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
4 - 4.6 billion years
Approximately 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of moon rocks were brought back by the Apollo astronauts during the six successful moon landing missions.
