If you want to see any features on the moon, you will need the biggest telephoto lens you can find. You will need at least a 400mm lens (35mm equiv) or a 10x zoom lens. Lacking that, you could try shooting through a telescope or binoculars, but that's difficult unless you have the equipment to lock them together.
As for exposure, remember the moon is illuminated by the same sun that illuminates the earth, so use the same exposure you would use to take pictures on a normal day. The camera can be fooled by the small moon amid the expanse of black sky, so don't trust auto exposure. However, if you set your camera for spot metering and the moon is fairly large in the frame, auto exposure should work okay.
The location is not important so long as you can see the moon. The location is only determined by what else you want in the photo besides the moon.

Try finding an area away from the city.
