Virtually everything in our solar system rotates or orbits counter-clockwise (CCW), as seen from a location high above the North Pole. The Sun spins CCW, all the planets orbit CCW, 6 of the 8 planets spin CCW (Venus hardly spins at all, and Uranus' spin is parallel to the ecliptic).
The Moon, like everything else, orbits CCW and spins, one spin per orbit, CCW.

Why does the earth rotation go couterclockwise?
It goes clockwise, or counterclockwise, depending from where you look at it! If it goes counterclockwise if you look from one side, then it will be clockwise if you look from the opposite side! Earth's rotation is traditionally shown from the north pole - and the north pole is DEFINED as the pole from which the rotation looks counterclockwise.
