What is the difference between moon and satellite?
The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.
Why does the name satellite given to the satellite?
The term "satellite" is used to describe these objects because they revolve or orbit around a larger celestial body, such as a planet like Earth. They are essentially companions or "satellites" of that larger body in space.
What is the name of the satellite which revolves around the Earth?

What is the position called at which an artificial satellite is farthest from earth in its orbit?
The generic name (for such a point in the orbit) is apapsis. Specifically for an orbit around Earth, the name "apogee" is also used.
What is the name of the satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?

Sputnik was the first satellite to orbit the Earth. It was Russian and transmitted a radio signal. It is possible that a earlier satellite could be in orbit, without any communications this would be the same as a cannon shell etc. So long as an object can reach orbit it will constantly drop towards the planet and because the planet is round the object will rotate around being pulled by gravity
