Well, LOOK IN THE SKY MENSO
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon was a waxing crescent seven days ago (December 31st). The next day, January 1st, the Moon was in its first quarter. So on December 31st, the Moon was a crescent but almost a half moon, lighted on its right side.
The appearance of the moon two days ago would have depended on its phase in the lunar cycle. It could have been a waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, or full moon, each displaying a different illuminated portion of its surface.
Two weeks ago, the moon was likely in its waning gibbous phase, appearing as a large disc with some shadowed areas on the right side. At this stage, the moon's illumination was decreasing as it moved toward the last quarter phase.
Yes but only about 1.3 seconds ago as this is how long light takes to reach us from the Moon.
One billion years ago, the moon would have appeared much closer to Earth due to tidal braking (slowing down of the moon's rotation). It would have a stronger gravitational influence on the Earth causing higher tides. The moon's surface would have been more geologically active, with more frequent volcanic activity and impacts.

The Moon was full two days ago, so for the next 5 days the Moon will be in the "waning gibbous" phase. On Saturday, 2/6/10, the Moon will be at the Third Quarter phase.
Whatever moon phase you're looking at, it was the same 29.53 days ago, and it'll be the same again after another 29.53 days.
Waning Crescent and it was still visible
The same as now days.
