That is not true: On a flat earth, if the moon was not overhead, it would pull the water towards it and so cause a tide. It is a bit like tides in lakes: many are small enough not to be overly affected by fact that the earth is not flat.
If the moon were closer to Earth, high tides would be higher and occur more frequently due to increased gravitational pull. The closer proximity would enhance the moon's influence on Earth's tides, leading to more pronounced tidal variations.
there will not be water tides
There would be one less form of erosion on earth.
If the moon moved around the earth faster, while the earth maintained the same rotational speed, the period between spring and neap tides would be less.

Negligible gravity, no tides, no atmosphere, no life

If there were no tides, Earth wouldn't be the same
Tides would become stronger.

No
if there were no moon, there would be no light in the sky at night (earth would be a lot darker at night, earth's days would be longer (earth will rotate slower), and there will be no tides (the moon pulls the tides)
Yes the earth has tides
there will not be water tides
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
High tides would be smaller and low tides would be bigger, but would still occur. The cause of the tides is the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and sun. If the moon were further from the earth, its gravitational attraction would be less strong, and its effect on the earth's liquid envelope would be correspondingly less.
