The moon does not actually follow you unless you are driving West. What happens is that the moon is so far away that it gives the illusion that that it is following you because it remains in one place and does not dissappear behind you.

Does the moon follow you?

No, the moon orbits the earth. Since the earth is spinning on its axis the moon appears to move across the sky; however, it is us that are moving, not the moon. Also, the reason behind the moon seeming perhaps to follow you as you walk along, is that it's so far away from us, that we do not notice the change in perspective (viewing angle). Theoretically, if you had a telescope powerful enough, you would see a slight difference between the perspective of the moon at, say, one side of a field, and the other. However, this is a tiny difference, which is why our perspective does not change as we travel, giving the impression that it is following us.

The majority, yes. It depends what kind of Muslim one is. If you happen to be Sunni-Muslim, then chances are your family looks throughout the moon to know when it is time to start Fasting during Ramadan. If not, then no. The moon though is to be a New Moon. If there is a New Moon in August-November, then you are to start Ramadan on whichever the New Moon is presented on.

The moon appears to follow you because of its position in the sky relative to your own movement. This is an optical illusion caused by the vast distance between the Earth and the moon, making it seem like the moon is always nearby no matter where you go.
