assuming the moon landing took place of coarse

yes, that's how we determined the moon is moving (albeit very very slowly) away from us
PS: to debunk your theory, get a good look through a telescope at one of the landing sites, you will note a very faint shadow of the US flag that was posted there...

Yes.
Apollo 11, 14, 15 missions each placed reflectors on the moon's surface. Here is a description of an experiment performed from earth that utilizes one of them:

The fact that such experiments are not difficult to perform is excellent evidence that moon landings did occur.

Distance Earth to Moon via light off lunar "dust". Landing craft may have already set up reflectors to precisely laser-measure the lunar surface. Future landers will surely do this.

Yes, they were put there by the apollo astronauts. And don't start that assuming the moon landing took place stuff. That "conspiracy" has been so thoroughly bedunked that anyone still swearing by it either needs a psych exam or is trying to get attention...

i think that there is satellite up there or the dust off the moon reflect the light and there a machine that calculate the distance

Yes. I believe that there have been several of them placed there for geological studies.
