In a Lunar Eclipse, you see the full moon suddenly with a small "bite" out of it, as the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. The darkened area will grow and grow. In a partial eclipse, the shadow then starts to slide off of the Moon (actually, the Moon is passing beside the shadow, without being completely darkened). In a total eclipse, the Moon gets darker and darker until it is entirely within the Earth's shadow.
Then something marvelous happens. Once the Moon is completely in the shadow of the Earth, you would think that the Moon would be completely dark, but it isn't; the Moon becomes a deep red! The direct light of the Sun can no longer hit the Moon, because the Moon is in Earth's shadow; but the red light refracted AROUND the Earth continues out into space and lights the Moon a dim red color. The red light is the red of the sunsets and sunrises all around the world!
During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.
You would see something called an 'annular eclipse' - like the image in the bottom-right of the picture in the related link.
During a lunar eclipse, an astronaut on the Moon facing Earth would see a total solar eclipse. The Earth would block the Sun's light, casting a shadow on the Moon and obscuring its surface. The Moon would appear dark or reddish due to the Earth's atmosphere refracting sunlight.
If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.
You would see the Sun being occulted by the Moon.

From the perspective of a lunar observer, it would be a solar eclipse; the Earth would pass between the Sun and the Moon.
No, just as in a solar eclipse, the sun, earth and moon are in different positions depending on where you are on the earth. If we could all see it at the same time that would mean we would all be in the same exact spot on the earth.
