The move is actually slowly moving away from earth. The starts positions have changed over the millennia.
The sun is pulling the moon. More than the earth pulls the moon. The earth and the moon are pulled at essentially the same amount of force around the sun. hence them both going around the sun. In addition, the earth pulls the moon, hence the moon going around the earth too.
Read a book. I would suggest starting at a junior high level; you are asking relativistic questions without a grasp of Newtonian physics
There is no such thing as escape altitude. The sun feels our gravity. We feel Saturns, Mars and other planets gravity - it causes minute “wobbles” in our orbits
Keplers laws on Orbital Mechanics will explain the hows and why’s; but until you grasp Newtonian physics and some bit of calculus- it’s a pointless question
