...blown it away?

The footprints ARE immediately beneath the lander. The dust would have floated FARTHER away because of the low gravity. They should at least be stepping on gravel, or be in a big dust-crater...

If you watch the recording of the landing you will see some dust being blown around. However, the gravity on the moon is much less than on earth so the amount of thrust required to land is much less. The end result is that not nearly as much dust would be displaced by landing on the moon than would be displaced by the same type of landing on earth.

There's no air on the moon so the rockets only displaced the dust immediately beneath the lander.
You have to do better than this if you're going to disprove the moon landings. This question and other similar uninformed questions have been answered over and over again in the last 40 years.
Also you're posting in the wrong topic.

No gravity. Things like dust don't behave the same when there is no gravity.

Yes, but then they would've fallen back exactly where they came from
