Answer 1

You can use moment's format function to display date in the format you want to

moment().format('MM/DD/YYYY'); // "02/22/2016"

You can go through all the available formats here

Answer 2

var dateOnly = moment(date).format('MM/DD/YYYY'); // for formatted dates.
yesterday= moment(date).subtract(1,'days') // for previous day 
//you can replace days with months and years.
tomorrow= moment(date).add(1,'days') // for upcoming day 
//you can replace days with months and years. 
var date1= moment(yesterday)
var date2= moment(tomorrow)
differencebetweenmoments =moment(date1).diff(moment(date2),'days');
