Will it still be that way tomorrow night? I have to walk a bit to see much sky, too many tall trees.

Should be, it’s been up there by the moon for a while now.

Same here...

Mars will still be in nearly the same place, but -- since the moon rises later each night, tonight (Saturday), the separation will be a bit greater. However, both Mars & the Moon may both still be within the field of 7X binoculars.

Here are "grabs" from "Stellarium" (my "go-to" astronomical sky-simulator) at the approximate same time (shortly after Moonrise, your local time) each night:
