3. and 4. are both correct. Neither is better.
You simply have to say 3. when you mean 3. and say 4. when you mean 4!

Both "Underneath a moon" and "under a moon" are not correct because there is only one moon. I would say "Under the moon", "underneath the moonlight", "under the full moon" etc. In this case, "under" is the same as "underneath".
"Bright" in the context including "moon" does imply bright white.
"Bright" in the context including "moon" does imply bright white.
