Two nights ago, the moon was likely in its waxing gibbous phase, where more than half of the moon is illuminated but not yet a full moon. The specific appearance of the moon would depend on its exact phase and position in the sky, as well as any atmospheric conditions that may have affected visibility. To provide a more accurate description, the date, time, and location would need to be considered.
Three nights go. ( 17 December 2024) , the moon was in a waning gibbous phase.
3 days ago, the moon was likely in its waxing crescent phase, with only a small sliver of the moon visible in the evening sky.
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.
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.

Spacecraft have orbited the Moon and shown us what the far side looks like. This was first done over 50 years ago.
