It means that by coincidence the Moon looks the same size as the Sun in the sky - so we get to see total eclipses of the Sun, when the Moon fits exactly in front of the Sun and blocks its light out for a few minutes.
It is the Earth, which is bigger between the moon & the earth.
Virtually the same as the distance between Earth and Venus, which varies greatly according to where each is in its orbit. At its closest to Earth, Venus is still more than 100 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
Earth (if you mean Earth's moon)
No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.

"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.
The mean distance between the Earth and the moon is 0.00256957312 AU

There are no stars between the Earth and the Moon. The stars we see in the night sky are much farther away. The Moon is located within our own solar system, while the stars are located at much greater distances in our galaxy and beyond.
It's a measure of how far apart they are.

When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
Venus and Mars
The distances between the sun and (either the earth or moon) are both essentially the same distance. The difference is never more than 1/4 of 1 percent.
