The moon appears in different places on successive nights because the Moon orbits around the Earth once every 27.3 days. Each night it appears about 13 degrees further east among the background stars than the previous night.
about 749336 km, which is about 94.9% farther than the moon
There's no limit to the distance at which Earth's gravity is effective, and no limit to the distance that two bodies can separate and still move in mutual gravitational orbits.
Stars appear in fixed locations in the sky because of the Earth's rotation and the position of the stars in relation to our planet. This causes the stars to rise and set at predictable times each day.
The moon orbits the Earth 3 1/2 times a day.
If you stretch your arm straight out at shoulder-height, you can cover the giant sun with the end of your little thumb. Nearby objects appear larger than far-away objects. The sun is about 390 times as far away from us as the moon is.
The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.
because the moon and sun are so far they appear to be moving.
The stars appear small to us because they are very far away. They are actually much larger than the moon. The moon appears large in the sky because it is Earth's closest neighbor in space.

Through an angle of 60 degrees.
There is no "dark side of the Moon"; the Moon's day is 28.5 days long, but it has regular cycles of day and night. Perhaps you are referring to the FAR side of the Moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
The Earth and Moon appear the same size in the sky when viewed from Earth because the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth and is about 1/4 as far away from Earth as the Earth is from the Moon. This alignment creates the illusion that they have the same apparent size.
Very little, the moon is too far away, on a good day you can just about make out the continents.
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
No - the moon travels along the same path that the sun and planets travel - the ecliptic. Orion's belt is too far below the ecliptic.
The constellations would not appear to change shape as you move because they are so far away that the relative positions of the stars remain constant from our viewpoint on Earth. This is why we can use constellations for navigation and timekeeping.
