Very near full as it is only truly full for a very short time,
That time is similar to seeing a lunar eclipse, as that is when the moon is both full and in the earth's shadow, so only those for whom the moon is up will see it.
Technically those in daylight, at the moment the moon is full see the moon a few hours before or after full, when the earth turns enough to see it again, but unless there is an eclipse to mark the moment, you could hardly tell.

Short answer is yes because the sunlight reflected off the Moon that reaches Earth arrives in parallel rays.
The phase of the Moon depends on the angle between the Sun, Moon and Earth. The physical size of the Earth, compared to its distance from the Moon, is too small to make any difference to this perceived angle across the area of the Earths surface where the Moon is visible.
So if a full moon were visible from the central US for example, then that same full moon would also be visible from Europe. Any difference in appearance would be the position of the Moon in the sky rather than the phase you see.

You won't see a full moon tonight, because it is now a new moon. But if it were a full moon night, then, yes, everyone else would see a full moon, too.

Yes. The phase of the Moon at any one moment is the same as seen from all parts of the globe.

the moon orbits the earth fully in 28 days. and the earth spin 1ce in 24 hours so it wouldnt be egxactly ther same but very simmilar

Let's see if we can answer that one.Now,since the moon revolves around the earth, and the sun around the earth,I think it highly unlikely that India and the U.S. will have full moons at the same time.If they don't go the same speed there could be a big crash causing there to be no more full moons and no more sun.

Yes. The phase of the Moon depends on where it is in it's orbit, not where you are on the Earth.

i'm no longer asserting it fairly is undesirable reason it fairly is preety reliable. yet once you don't get the readers interest in the 1st 200 words they gained't Finnish it and that i think of you will possibly desire to artwork a touch extra on that. and now and back the tale is slightly extra intresting in third individual. :)

Yes, at some stage. 12 hours before to 12 hours after you have seen it, depending on where you are.
(Except England because it's cloudy.)

Well, there is only one moon so it seems likely.
