why does the moon look like a perfect sphere on a full moon night?

We know that the moon formed through a collision between earth and possibly another planet. If so,
wouldn’t the shape of the moon be irregular?

Can spacetime bend and smoothen out celestial objects in space when they’re rotating on their axis or revolving around another object?

Over time gravity pulls large bodies into roughly spherical shapes. This is especially true when the large body is superheated and mostly liquid as a result, much like would happen after a giant impact event.
