You have not updated your tracking station so you cannot see patched conics. If you do while in this situation, you'll see that the predicted "orbit" actually leaves Mun's SOI.

Basically, when a smaller body is in orbit of a larger body, it is possible to be in a mathematical orbit that does not actually keep you close enough to that smaller body to stay in orbit.

Just burn down a little bit more, until the orbit completes. It's about half way further down and shouldn't cost you all that much fuel.

also, some of these contracts require a new vessel launched after the contract is accepted

There is no orbital direction because its one of the progression contracts.
