You can see a full moon from anywhere on Earth.
It is still a full moon no matter if it is the first or second it is still new
Known as "First Quarter". The moon appears half-illuminated. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the half you see to your RIGHT. The moon rises in the east at roughly Noon, and sets in the west at roughly Midnight.
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.
Yes sometimes there are 2 full moons during one month. These do not happen very often and the second full moon is called a 'blue moon', hence the expression, "once in a blue moon".
No. Only half of the moon is illuminated at any one time. During a full moon, the half facing Earth is fully illuminated.

A lunar month is caused by the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth, which is approximately 29.5 days. This cycle is also known as a synodic month, during which we witness the different phases of the Moon from new moon to full moon and back.
A full moon is when the moon is in its orbital phase where it is directly opposite the sun, with its illuminated side facing Earth. This occurs approximately every 29.5 days as the moon completes one full orbit around Earth.

This is when the moon is "decreasing" in size. Moving from a full moon to a new one
