What details help identify a moth?

A straight top view, visible antennae, a size reference, and the location and date are especially helpful.

Can it identify tiny brown moths?

It can narrow possibilities, but many small moths require microscopic examination, so those results may remain at family or genus level.

No. Many outdoor moths enter buildings accidentally. Pest assessment requires species confirmation and evidence such as damaged food or fabric.
