So "Gravity Recovery" as defined would clearly indicate something is wrong with Earth's gravity, would it not?
No. It would not. You can't always apply "normal" word usage to scientific usage. The probes will make use of the geodetic technique known as gravity recovery. It's another way of saying gravity mapping.
space.cv.nctu.edu.tw...

The Earth portion (GRACE) has as it's objective "Measure gravity changes related to the movement of mass such as melting of ice at the poles and changes in ocean circulation." If anyone tells you the rapid polar ice melt doesn't effect Earth's rotation or gravity they are lying.
Or they are mistaken. The melting of polar ice results in a redistribution of mass. A redistribution of mass results in very small changes it the Earth's gravitational field. Yes, along with it, very small changes in Earth's rotation, sort of. More specifically changes in the Earth's figure axis, similar to the changes caused by large earthquakes and the daily changes caused by the tides.

The Moon portion (Grail) has as it's objective the mapping of magnetic and gravity fields on the Lunar surface, and the study of composition and size of the Lunar core. They aren't looking to mine the Moon, they're trying to find out exactly how the Moon influences Earth's gravity.
No. They are looking to learn more about the composition of the moon and to precisely measure the mascons which cause the known gravitational anomalies.

Both missions were necessary because there is a "perturbing force" within our solar system, an object which has changed the gravity in the Sun-Earth-Moon system.
No. There isn't.

You're either one hell of a fiction writer or you're onto something.
Either way, keep going.
This is great!

If the moon is moving away from the earth 1.5 inches per year, what happens when its orbit decays? Does it fly off into the sun, or whiplash and smash right into earth?

A few issues with your opening post:

The moon does not have a dipolar electromagnetic field like the earth does.
The melting ice caps will indeed have a small effect on the rotation of the earth about it's axis, but so far this is negligible, not even enough of a change to measure. It would have no affect on the earths gravity, as obviously the overall mass of the earth will not change, just have miniscule alterations in it's distribution.
Any object which was close enough to our solar system to have an effect on the Earth/Moon/Sun relationship would be close enough to effect Mercury, Venus and Mars too. (Mercury and Venus being between us and the sun as you will know)
Any Earth/Moon/Sun changes would cause noticeable tidal changes, and weather pattern changes.

Now, I am not saying that none of the above issues are occurring, but for your opening post to be believable, you would need to include links to evidence that they are. I have had a quick scout about on the internet and can't find any evidence to back you up, but will happily read anything you can provide for me, I am fascinated by this topic.

As the distance between the moon increases, the rate at which it moves away decreases. It will not have enough time to escape earth's gravitational pull before the Sun dies in 5 billion years.

Well, considering how the sun holds planets in their orbit a couple billion miles away from it, I can see what you mean. And, I hope you're right!

Aww I said that I said that.. I just didn't say it in wordy terms.

I need to learn me some nasa so my smarts are betterere than words.

If what old boy says in his opening post is accurate and true, then I am unaware as to the logic to which his endeavour proclaims direction.

Please, poste haste, enlighten me as to these wants, so that I may formulate a correspondence forth with.

You'rs

Him not even close related to wot you replied about.

I am likely wrong, so please direct all negative attitude to www.qq.com -- where an attendant will take care of your immediate needs.

ahem.
