    yes; yes

    Explanation:

    Phases of the moon refers to the shapes of the moon due to the lit part of it visible from the Earth. On a new moon day, the moon comes between the sun and the earth such that the lit portion is not visible from the Earth. On a full moon day, the earth comes between the sun and the moon and the whole lit part is visible.

    When one would view the earth from the moon, the earth would also be visible as going through the phases. The order would be reversed. Understand this with the following example, On a new moon day, the Earth would be visible completely lit from the moon. So it will be full Earth day on the moon. On a full moon day, the lit side of the Earth would be completely away and hence, from the moon, new earth would be there.
