Everything that we see in the sky rises and sets because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
That rotation doesn't change for one object or another (its not like the sun rises in the east but the moon rises in the south).
But since the moon's orbit around the Earth is not exactly lines up with the ecliptic (the sun's apparent path in our sky), then the moon can rise further north or further south (but still from the eastern direction) than the sun. And set further north or further south (but still in the western direction).

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west, but its not exactly the same place each night. The moon's orbit around the Earth is angled to our equator, so the moon does swing north and south during the year.

It also rises in the east, however, unlike the sun, it rises about 50 minutes later each day.

east same as the sun, it doesn't really rise, it's due to the earth's rotation, so obviously it would be the same direction!
