The moon is on orbit around the earth - it goes round and round.
The time it takes the moon to go round the earth is not the same as the time it takes for the earth to go round, as a result sometimes the moon is visible in the day, sometimes at night.

The location of the moon in the sky has nothing to do with day or night. The moon revolves around the earth approximately every 28 days. Sometimes as it proceeds along its orbital path it happens to be daytime and sometimes it just happens to be night time. The sun shining on the earth's surface really has no bearing whatsoever on where the moon is located. So sometimes when you look up in the sky at night you see the moon and sometimes when you see it, it just happens to be day time. Does that help?

Simple. The moon has the same rotation and orbit as the Earth.

because it is not a stationary satellite on the night side of the earth.

because it's up- it's not going anywhere.
