It's there...just look to the left of Earth. A tiny, gray dot.

The closest gray dot, which is faint, or the brighter gray dot farther left?

Neither, op is wrong. From this distance the moon would not appear that far away from earth. In this version of the image the moon is basically in the same pixel as the earth.
