If you lived on the sun would you still see the moon go through phases?

No, you wouldn't. The phases of the moon we see from earth depend on the fact that the sun lights different sides of it, though only one side of the moon always faces earth. The key is that we are looking at the way the sun lights the moon's surface from here on earth. From the sun, we'd see a moon that was constantly being lit, and lit from right where we were looking at it from, if that makes sense. No "darker" phases would ever appear. Whatever side of the moon faced us on the sun, the sun would light it up. And we'd always see that fully illuminated side.

What is the view of the earth from the moon over 28 days?
The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less. It would have about 4 times the apparent diameter the Moon seems to us - about 2 degrees instead of 1/2 degree. You would see the Earth pass through all the phases, similar to the Moon's phases.The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less.
