It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
Our moons gravity.
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
Not specifically. The Moon's gravity does cause Earth's tides, and tides do affect the weather, but weather is more of a local phenomenon.

The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.

Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.

Yes, approximately.
