Yes it is the same effect. When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up, (when we have a new and full moon), the tides are especially high, as the Sun's gravity assists the Moon's pull.

At night, a new moon and full moon have the same effects. the phase of the moon changes because the moon is in a very slightly different position. This is not enough to make the tides differ.

No...the tides are higher diring the full moon because the earth is getting pulled in two opposite directions at that point...by the sun on one side, and by the moon on the other side. With the new moon, both the sun and moon are on the same side relative to earth...with the sun virtually negating the impact of the moon's gravity.

No, they will be different. During a new moon, the sun and moon are essentially lined up on the same side relative to earth, causing a slightly intensified tidal effect. During a full moon, the sun and moon are on opposite sides of earth, causing a dual-tidal effect.

Yes. It's still a center of gravity. It's not like the moon isn't there anymore. It always is affecting the tides, it doesn't matter if you can see it or not.

No, different effects on new moon and fullmoon.

of course it is, the moon never looses any mass
