The solar calendar and the months of the Gregorian calendar year have no particular relationship with the phases of the Moon.
That's not true for lunar calendars like the Islamic calendar, or luni-solar calendars like the Hebrew calendar; for these, the first day of the month IS the date of the new moon. But the month of "April" doesn't tell you anything about the phases of the Moon. It's easy enough to calculate, and there are dozens of web sites that will give you the appropriate astronomical data including lunar phases.
For example, the U.S. Naval Observatory's web site will show you the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase for any date and location you specify. See the link below.
The moon phase on April 2nd varies each year. To determine the moon phase for a specific year, you would need to consult a lunar calendar or a moon phase tracking website.
A new moon phase is happening when the moon is aligned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making the moon appear dark or invisible from our perspective.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
One week after the full moon, the moon is in its third quarter phase. During this phase, the left half of the moon appears illuminated when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the right half appears illuminated from the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sunlight is shining on the opposite side of the moon compared to the full moon phase.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete a full lunar cycle and reappear in the same phase. This cycle includes all the phases of the moon, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
During the weekend 27th-28th April 2013 the moon's phase was Waning Gibbous.

The phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun is called the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark in the sky.

No. The phase is the phase, no matter your gaze.No, but it will appear to be oriented a different way depending on your location.
