The scheduling of the Jewish Sabbath is completely unrelated to the moon, and takes place during all of the moon's phases. The Sabbath takes place once every seven days, on Saturday.
We hold our hands between us and the candles so that we do not directly view the flames while reciting the bracha (blessing). The reason for this is a bit convoluted. Normally, we say the bracha before we perform the act. However, once the bracha over the candles is recited, Shabbat has started and once Shabbat starts we cannot light candles. So, to get around this conundrum, we light the candles then block the flames from our view until after the bracha is recited thereby "recreating" the lighting after the bracha. source: Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 263:5.

Jews use a braided candle for havdala, a service that marks the end of the Sabbath and heralds the beginning of the work week. The braided candle (or two candles held together) is important because two or more wicks are required in order to match the words of the blessing, "Who creates the illuminations of fire" - i.e., the various types of manmade light that we utilize during the week.
While the lighting of the candles is a beautiful, important and ancient custom, the most important part of Sabbath observance is refraining from forms of work which are forbidden on that day. These include switching electric switches on or off during the Sabbath, and other forms of work.
