Cheddar Cheese has a moisture of 39%.

The moisture content of cheddar cheese varies so much with its aging, coloring (annatto), storage history and many other factors, I doubt that any single answer can be had to this question. For example, "young" cheddar is often described as "creamy", aged cheddar as "crumbly". The difference can be difficult to describe, but is quite obvious once you handle the two different versions.

My guess would be that, if a recipe called for "mild", "medium" or "sharp", the originating chef (whose knowledge of the subject undoubtedly FAR outweighs mine!) has probably already estimated the approximate moisture content of an "average" cheddar in the specified "sharpness" classification, and compensated the remaining liquids in the recipe to accomodate it.

Beyond that, you might need to get a'hold of Alton Brown...

What to substitute for muenster cheese?

Gruyere at a pinch, but there really is no substitute for Emmental. The sweet, nutty flavour is almost unique. If the recipe wants Emmental and Gruyere isn't available then don't make the recipe. Or at least don't make it and expect it to be as good. Sorry for being so negative!
