The Lunar Module (LM) was a spacecraft built in two halves.
The bottom half, called the Descent Stage, contained the landing legs, the descent engine and the fuel it needed to burn, all the science equipment the astronauts used on the moon, and extra supplies the astroanuts used while inside the LM between EVA's.
The top half, called the Ascent Stage, contained the living area/cockpit for the astronauts, the communication equipment, the computers, the Ascent Engine and the fuel needed to burn it, and storage for the lunar samples being returned to Earth.
After the surface mission was over, the astroanuts would pack everything they needed into the top half (the Ascent Stage). At exactly the right time, explosive bolts fired separating the top half from the bottom half. Seconds after that the Ascent engine would fire, essentially using the Descent Stage as a launch pad, returning the crew to orbit, and leaving the Descent Stage on the moon (where they can still be found today).
Once in orbit the Ascent Stage would rendezvous with the already-orbiting Command/Service Module (CSM) being piloted by the Command Module Pilot. Once all the crew, equipment, and lunar samples were transferred from the LM Ascent Stage into the CSM the tunnel between the two craft was sealed and the LM was released where it would eventually impact the moon (they did this on purpose, as it would produce a shockwave throughout the moon which was recorded using seismographs left on the surface. This helped NASA scientists examine the interior makeup of the moon).
The CSM would then fire its engine for a return trip to the Earth. Once near the Earth the Service Module would be separated from the Command Module (all the supplies and astronauts were stuffed into the tiny Command Module) and the Command Module would reenter the Earth's atmosphere. Once it had slowed down enough parachutes were deployed that allowed the module to splash safely down into the Pacific Ocean where a US Navy ship would fish the crew and then the Command Module itself out of the water and place them on the deck of the ship. From there the crew and their equpiment were transferred back home.

No, Neal Armstrong did not leave his boot on the moon. His boot prints remained, and they are still there.
Neil Armstrong left Earth to go to the moon on July 16, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission.
They returned on to the earth again on 24/7/1969.
Neil Armstrong left Earth on July 16, 1969, as the commander of the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the Moon.
