We say it does have an effect on the moon yet our astronauts are totally weightless in the ISS and they are a lot closer.

Actually, the astronauts are not 'weightless'; it only appears that way when, in fact, they are 'falling' around the earth due to gravity.

So you are saying if they were stationary, like a com satellite, they wouldn’t be weightless?
