So moi/moya is possessive but based on gender of the noun? moi = masculine moya = feminine

Yes. If the noun is is feminine, you should use "моя" even if the person speaking is a male, "мой" for masculine nouns, "моё" for neuter nouns and "мои" for plurals.

In previews lessons we used "a" as "and" in russian so why is this "мой брат а моя сестра" wrong?whats the difference between а and и ?

"А" is used when in English "and" can be substituted with "whereas". Otherwise "and" is "и".

Not exactly. "И" can't be used as "whereas", so the are very few contexts where both "а" and "и" can be used.
