Answer to Question 1

During a totally eclipsed Sun, the Moon's disk moves in from the right towards the left, covering the photosphere of the Sun. Sunlight begins to dim as more of the sun's disk is covered. During totality, the corona is visible. The glowing pale white light is faint enough that you can temporarily look safely at the Sun directly. Also visible is the chromosphere often marked by prominences, which glow pink.

Answer to Question 2

Most full moons pass too far north or too far south of the ecliptic and miss the umbra of Earth's shadow, only when the full moon passes at a node can it be eclipsed.
