The Moon _IS_. It is neither good nor bad.
Light on the right means the moon is waxing (going towards a full moon), while light on the left means the moon is waning (going from a full moon).
When the right half of the moon is illuminated it would be called first quarter. (That's when you see the Moon from the northern hemisphere.)
Jupiter is to the right of the moon. It was closest a on September 1st, then is was just to the left of the moon. Since then, the moon has passed Jupiter and the distance (seen by an observer) between them has been increasing.
The phase of the moon that comes right after the new moon is the waxing crescent. It is when a small sliver of the moon's illuminated side becomes visible from Earth.
When the right half of the moon is illuminated, it is referred to as the "first quarter" phase, occurring about a week after the new moon. During this phase, the moon appears as a half-circle in the sky, with the illuminated side facing the sun. This is a good time to observe lunar features, as the shadows cast by the sun create a more dramatic view of the moon's surface. The first quarter moon rises around noon and sets around midnight.
No. There is a waning gibbous moon right after the full moon.

That happens at half-moon, when the Moon is at the right-angle of a right-angled triangle. The acute angle of the triangle is at the Sun and it is only 0.147 degrees on average. At half-moon you can look at the Moon, and the Sun is approximately 90 degrees to the right or the left, depending on whether the Moon is waxing or waning.
no
Gibbous.
Because the sun is only on the right side of the moon.

The Moon is in the middle at New Moon, but the Earth is in the middle at Full Moon. At first and last quarter the Moon is at the right-angle in a right-angled triangle.
