Does Moonbeam deal damage on casting?

No, Moonbeam does not deal damage on the initial casting; it only deals damage (2d10 radiant) when a creature enters the beam for the first time on a turn or starts their turn within it, requiring a Constitution save for half damage, though official rulings suggest creating the beam on a creature doesn't count as entering. You can move the beam with your action each turn to hit different targets or hit the same target again, but the damage only triggers on movement into the area or starting a turn there, not just by casting or moving the beam onto them.

Can Moonbeam be cast inside?

Yes, you can cast the Dungeons & Dragons spell Moonbeam indoors, as it doesn't require actual moonlight and can function in confined spaces, though its 40-foot height might be an issue in low-ceilinged areas; the key is having enough vertical space for the cylinder and a clear line of effect from the caster to the target point, but it works well for controlling rooms or hitting flying enemies, even if the beam goes through floors/ceilings, say Reddit users and D&D Beyond forums.

Can Misty Step go through the Wall of force?

Yes, in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, you can generally Misty Step through a Wall of Force because teleportation isn't "passing through" in the normal sense, but rather blinking from one space to another, and the Wall of Force description doesn't block teleportation (unlike how it blocks Ethereal travel). You need to see your destination within range and it must be unoccupied, but the wall doesn't block line of sight or count as physical obstruction for this specific type of magic.
