/!\ Spoiler alert /!\
Level > !moonstonescaveman
!moonstonescaveman is a bonus level, in fact. You don't have to win in during the game to success that level pack. However, !moonstonescaveman is a must have to unlock the secrets levels, which are a continuation of many optional levels.
Like you said, the key to win Moonstones is to have always a chest or something else to carry multiple items with you : in fact, when I made these levels, my priority was to use some mechanics of spelunky natural that you cannot find in the original spelunky editor +. So yep, always carry items.
Spoiler : in !moonstonescaveman, you can find the psychical scepter, which has to be used like a key with the hedjet to go later in the gold fundery (!moonstonestunnels). The hedjet will be find in !moonstonesruins.
Hem. To go in !moonstonescaveman, you, indeed, have bought a bomb in !moonstones2. But, special warning, this bought persist, so you cannot buy this bomb a second time : so your journey in !moonstonescaveman is a kind of one way trip.
To exit !moonstonescaveman, you have to kill the golden spider in the top left hand corner of this map : but, sometimes (it happens many times, in fact), this spider jumps and falls in the water, and it's drowning time. This spider, actually, have something like 5HP, and drops a golden key if you kill her. But, if this spiders dies because of the water, you'll not have that golden key to exit the level, so you'll have to try to kill her quickly again and again.
Spoiler, more important : the scepter is hidden behind the giant chest.
Level > !moonstones2
No big spoils here : this level is a crossroads and have many exits, which are : !moonstonescaveman (you were here) !moonstonestunnels (a big one, a really hard level if you want to succes the optionnal goals in this one) !moonstones3. !moonstonesruins.
You have to notice that these levels can be played again and again because of their doors, which make them playable an infinity of time. But, some items location and condition are persistant, and that the same thing about the monsters, so you can try many things.
