For your two first questions. . .i don't think it symbolized much. Only, that he died like what he thought he was. Like a God. (He's insane)

The moon. Is a character in his name. His name refers to the words 'moon' and 'god' in japanese. I don't think it means much but there you have it.

for your third question. . . The police helped him. He would have never killed L if he hid in the shadows. And eventually, L would have caught him. If his father was not a detective. . .he would not have much of an advantage. No one would assume a crazy killer would be hiding under the nose of the cheifs police.
