Yes you can see lots on the Moon with just about any scope. The planets through the 65mm scope will look like tiny disks and you will need to look long and hard to see any detail.
I guess the scope you are talking about is the one with the little table-top tripod and 30x-90x zoom eyepiece. It is probably not going to work for astronomy the way you might expect. At higher magnifications, it will be very hard to aim and then even harder to keep objects in view (with the Earth's rotation). For terrestrial applications it should do better. And you would enjoy viewing the Moon with it.
If your budget is under $200, and you want something for both astronomical & wildlife observations, a good pair of binoculars is the way to go. I know it does not have the novelty of a telescope, but the novelty will quickly turn into frustration the first night you try to point it skywards.
8x25 binos are too small in aperture to be useful for astronomy. You would need 8x40 at least, but better 7x50.
