Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?

The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun.

But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
