It adds another force against the force of gravity.. thus decreasing the value of GPE.
Actually, i don't think it will do anything to the increase in GPE, because PE is just looking at an object and seeing what energy it has, not when it is in motion.

I dont think you made any mistakes. The potential energies should differ. If you didn't make any calculation errors and if 1.63 is 9.81/6, the answer is correct. Edit: I guess I'll explain why they differ. 2.32sin(3.02) is not equal to 2.32sin(14.01). This makes sense because the distance to the surface of the moon changes under the angle. Meaning that h in E=mgh changes, thus E will differ.

It does not. Friction simply provides another channel (heat) vs. kinetic energy into which the potential energy may be converted as the object falls.
