when the sun/moon appears to slowly meet the horizon and disappear
Yes, the sun and moon rise and set every day due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This daily cycle results in the apparent movement of the sun and moon across the sky, causing them to rise in the east and set in the west.
When the full moon rises, the sun has already set on the opposite side of the Earth. The sun is no longer directly illuminating the moon, but its light is still reflecting off the moon's surface, creating the full moon's brightness.
A full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, appearing on the opposite side of the sky as the sun. This is because a full moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky.
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.

The waxing crescent will rise and set 6 hours or less after the sun does.
The Moon sets about 50 minutes later each day. At the "new moon", the Moon and Sun are very close together in the sky, and rise and set together. 10 days later, the Moon rises (and sets) about 8 hours after the Sun does. So the Moon 10 days after the new would be waxing gibbous, and would set around 3 AM.

The Sun doesn't "chase" anything. Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise and set, due to the rotation of planet Earth.

Sun set and moon set would both be over the water.

The New Moon rises and sets at roughly the same time as the sun.
First of all no. The moon sets a before the sun. Keep on asking ?s! :D
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
