While Gothic Angel is technically correct, I believe that answer is overly picky and just confusing. Any tiny differences you might be able to measure from different locations on Earth are FAR to small to see. For all practical purposes, the phase is the same as seen form anyplace on Earth, if it is seen from those different locations at the same moment in time.

No.

It varies slightly. Imagine somebody seeing the moon from North America, and at the same time from Hawaii. The moon would have slightly different phase angles since the observers are in different positions. The difference would be barely noticable though.
