There are many many sites that you can log onto showing (I am in the UK), Moonrise etc.
BUT is there anywhere to turn to figure out at what time and HOW HIGH the moon will be.

Yes there is. Try here...
https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/australia/melbourne
It is set for Melbourne, Australia, but you can change the city/country at the top right of screen.
Simply look down the list for today's date (faintly highlighted yellow row) or any other day of interest. You will get Moonrise and Moonset as well as their respective Azimuths.
If you click on the row for a given day a sort of sinusoidal graph will be displayed. Above the horizontal axis The Moon is above the horizon (Visible). Below the horizontal axis The Moon is below the horizon (Not-Visible). If you move the cursor/click on different positions (times) on the graph you will answer your 2nd question: that for example, The Moon will be at 22 degrees elevation, 98 degrees Azimuth at 12:23am.
