Each of the lunar modules was built with two sections, the ascent and descent stages. When the surface mission was complete, the two halves were separated. The ascent stage returned to robit with the crew while the descent stage stayed o nthe surface, serving as a launch pad for the ascent stage. As such, there are 6 LM Descent Stages on the moon today.

If you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse what kind of eclipse would you experience?
It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.

What happens to the lunar modules in space?
Most lunar modules eventually crashed back into moon once they weren't needed anymore. They were separated from the Command/Service Module and left in lunar orbit. This orbit would decay and the ascent stage would impact the moon's surface. Some of the seismology sensors set up on the moon's surface were able to record this impact. The lunar module from Apollo 13 is in the Pacific Ocean. Because the lunar modules have a radiation source, the one in the Pacific Ocean is monitored to see if it is causing any contamination. Apollo 9's lunar module never left low Earth orbit, it presumably burnt up in Earth's atmosphere. One of the Lunar Modules is actually in orbit around the Sun. For some reason, Apollo 10's ascent stage was sent on a course that would take it out of lunar orbit. It is still out there today in what is called an "extremely chaotic orbit."
Is the lunar module at the Smithsonian?
Yes, there is a Lunar Module at the Smithsonian, which never flew. No lunar modules which landed on the moon ever made it back to earth.
What did the Apollo rocket do while the lunar module was directed toward the moon's surface?
If you mean while the Lunar modules were descending to the surface and while they were on the moon, then the Apollo Command and Service Modules kept orbiting the moon. One of the astronauts stayed behind in it. The Command Module could relay messages from the earth to the astronauts on the lunar surface. The ascent stage of the Lunar Module eventually returned and docked at the forward end of the Command Module. *If I haven't understood your question properly, please add more information.
