Hi, sorry did not see this post sooner.

If you haven't already answered your own questions, I may be able to help with the first part.

For a earth moon. Simply add a planet02 object, from the objects list in TG.
Then click on the "?" button in the planet object node. This will lead you to a list of planets in our solar system, and the planets sizes. Copy and past the size for the moon, into the scale setting of the planet02 object node.
Now you have the moon at scale.

The simplest way to make the planet object look like earth's moon, is to apply an image map to the object.
Here you can find some image maps that you may like, but there are other sources as well, some better than others. : http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/moon.php

Now you need to understand how to apply the image map.
