first of all let me clarify, the sun is a star. I will however assume that you mean OTHER stars and would like to say right off the bat that all other stars are significantly further from our sun than either the earth or the moon. If it helps to explain why the sun looks bigger than other stars (even though in most cases it is actually smaller) think about when you see trees or houses at a distance. If you are far enough away it looks like you can squeeze them between just two fingers, but you can't. Well the same thing is happening with the other stars (and to the sun but to a lesser extent). Now for the earth/moon thing. It depends, since the moon rotates around the earth while the earth rotates around the sun (confusing I know) sometimes the moon is closer to the sun and other times the earth is.
I hope this answer helped :)

Would a moon constellation map be helpful on the moon?
Using a star map could potentially be useful as we used the stars to navigate in the times before advanced technology. Since the distance between the Earth and the moon is tiny compared to the distance between stars the constellations you see from the moon are exactly the same ones you see from Earth.
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon

How many stars are between the earth and the moon?
NONE!!!! The nearest star is the SUN. All the other stars are outside the Solar System.

How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
