What blocks the moon when it is half a moon?
The object that blocks the moon when there is a half moon is the moon itself. The moon is a sphere, so only one half of it can be sunlit at any moment. The other half is dark just because the sun is below the horizon for that half of the moon. And when we see a half moon, we are simply looking at the moon just as the line of sunrise/sunset cuts across the moon's diameter.

Waxing moon phase in which one half of the moons lighted side can be seen from Earth?

What do you call the moon that is between half moon and full moon?
The "more than 50%" moon is called the gibbous moon. When it is "growing" (appearing to get larger), it is a Waxing Gibbous; when "shrinking," it's the Waning Gibbous.
