the moon is a satellite of Earth as people have said
if it says human-made it is asking about the ISS
anything orbiting a planet is a satellite of that planet

There is a lot of room around the earth, so it is unlikely that a satellite would hit another satellite in orbit. Also, since many satellites are geosynchronous, this means that they will stay in the same position above the earth; also decreasing the chances of satellites hitting each other. The orbit of the satellite is decided by physics and mathematics, to determine the point above the earth where the satellite will be geosynchronous. As to your last question, satellites don't avoid space debris, as far as I know. I believe that was a problem with the Hubble Telescope in the past.

How could you not know that the moon is larger than anything we have put into orbit?
And with all the news about the International Space Station this last year or so, how could anyone not know that it's the largest man-made satellite?
