Won't the moon eventually fly off into space since it is getting 1.5" away from Earth every year ?

No.
The moon's orbit is being raised via tidal pumping. The energy to do so comes from the earth's rotation, slowing it down and lengthening the day.  The earth will ultimately out of angular momentum, with one side of the earth always facing the moon and a day as long as a month ("tidally locked").  This will happen before enough energy is transferred to the moon to get it to escape.
