That varies depending on where Mercury, the Earth, and the Moon are in their respective orbits.

On average, Mercury is about 48 million miles away from Earth's Moon. The distance can vary due to the elliptical orbits of both bodies.
The earth's ozone layer does not include the moon. The moon is far beyond.
As a spacecraft travels to the moon, it uses its propulsion system to break free from Earth's gravitational pull. Once it reaches the moon's vicinity, it adjusts its speed and trajectory by firing its engines to enter into orbit around the moon. This allows the spacecraft to revolve around the moon while remaining in a stable orbit.

No because the Moon is closer than all the planets. The Moon can block our view of planets (very occasionally). Mercury and Venus can move in front of the Sun but they do not block our view because they are too small and too far away.
