The blood stain on the moon is implied to be a product of Second Impact. (Unused storyboards flat-out show it, too.) Tabgha Base, sited on the stain, is said to be site of an excavation of some sorts. It's most likely that Eva-06 and its Spear were the items excavated, and got there via the 2I "blood spout". Meaning, Eva-06 is probably an Adam that was "burnt out" by being impaled by one of the four Spears seen at 2I, and doesn't have anything to do with Lilith.

As for the mask switcheroo, let's forget about what we think we know from NGE and think about what it indicates for NME.

1) Lilith's mask is an Angel face, indicating... a tie to the Angels. Incidentally, the Angels' origins have not been elucidated in any way so far, so they might well originate from Lilith this time around. Also note that there are seven-sided bolts going through the eye holes (ouch!), each marked with Seele's emblem. Seven is the divine number, Seele's emblem is the 7 eyes of God, you get the picture...

2) Eva-06's mask has the 7-eyed emblem of Seele (= 7 Eyes of God), moon craters, and two stylized 'crying eyes'. Seele are basically treating Eva-06 as their personal god (the God to Lilith's Jesus? ), and Eva-06 holds residence at Tabgha ("seven springs") before deployment, so the 7-eyed logo is doing some symbolic duty here. Moon craters: obvious enough.

(As for the crying eyes, I got nothing except maybe that it's an oblique reference to Neo-Atlantean masks... Atlanteans??! OHSHI--)

I'm the furthest there is from a Bible scholar, but I think it's metaphorical. AFAIK, every reference to God's appearance is.

Incidentally, the "god factor" of Lilith and Eva-06 probably explains why they're both masked, eyes and all:

That s a very good point. Come to think of it the Holy of Holys, the inside of the arc of the covenant, could not be looked at or else *insert Indiana Jones stort* so covering the face of "god" is a common theme
