Like because it is moving away from the earth every year.

In reading some of the data that NASA is using in measuring the distance to the Moon using lasers, the moon is moving closer to the Earth. The gravitational force of the Earth is drawing the Moon closer. Eventually the gravitational force of the Moon will balance with that of the Earth and the Moon will then begin to move away from the Earth. This is due to the Moon having two poles and the Earth having two poles. They both generate electromagnetic energy and a gravitational field. The gravitational field on the Moon is weaker, about one sixth of the Earth's. There will come a point where the negative or positive poles will interact thus repelling one another. The same would be for the Earth moving closer to the Sun. Our our solar system moving closer to the centre of the Milky Way. Physics and astronomy are just beginning to understand these issues. There is also the question of dark energy, string theory, and M theory. For instance, why are we able to pick up items with a magnet and overcome gravity but gravity holds us on the Earth and holds planets in their orbits.
Where does that gravitational energy go? The above theories believe that it seeps away into other dimensions.

The moon was originally a lot closer to the earth. It's been moving away since it was formed. But the sun will be a dead dark star and the earth a burnt cinder from being to close to the sun in it's red giant days before the moon gets away.

The word used in que question "eventually" is the key. Of course it will dissapear. Everything will dissapear at one time or another; mankind, the moon, earth, the sun, undestanding by dissapearing as changing to some form of matter or energy no longer bearing any resemblance to what we know. If what you mean by "from our sight" you refer to our lifetime, the answer is no. If what you mean is in the lifetime of mankind the answer is perhaps, although there is a very strong probability mankind will dissapear long before.

It is moving every year away from earth 3 cm.

no we wont be here to see the moon go away. The tubular spider crabs at the bottom of the ocean will be here to witnes it after we have destroyed ourselves.
Real bummer but it could happen that people will choose to live and stop polluting our earth. It could happen.

It will disapper, but there won't be anybody here to see when it does. Once the moon breaks earth orbit our climate would quickly change and destoy most life.

NO.instead it's speed of rotation around the earth slows down and eventually it falls on the earth.

theorotically speaking yes it will once after few thousands of years.
but all are cacluations are based on laser distance measurement.
