WHERE AND WHEN DID THE MOON EXIT THE EARTH?

It didn't "exit" the Earth.
While the Earth was still forming, an object hit the Earth and the debris from the impact eventually coalesced into the moon.
Some of the debris ended up back on Earth, some was ejected from the system, most ended up being part of the moon.

it didn't, the moon is relatively new to the earth about 20,000 to 25,000 yrs as it was brought hear to aid in the terraforming that was being done at the time.

Um... it didn't. The early Earth received a glancing blow from a Mars-sized object, ejecting tons of material into space. The impact liquefied the Earth, turning it molten. The ejected debris collected to form the moon, and the surface of the Earth cooled, to form the crust we live on today.
