There must be some change however small. They should be lighter as well. Microscopically in both cases I'm sure. It is more speculatory than practical.

I would answer that if you do get taller, it is insignificant compared to how tall you are to begin with. I would not expect any change in height greater than 10^-5 m as a result of the Moon's gravitational field, which is quite weak here on Earth.

No. First, the gravitational pull of the Moon isn't very large here on Earth's surface - it's quite negligible, actually. Second, the Moon doesn't have any extra pull when it's full than at any other point in its phase cycle.

Your computer has a larger gravitational effect on you than the moon does.

No.And even if this was true, you would get pulled always because the moon only looks like a cresent because it's the Earth's shadow that makes it look like that.So it's still there, but we just can't see all of it.

No. The gravitational pull isn't that much.
