I may be misunderstanding the rules, but it seems like a Circle of the Moon druid can Wild Shape into a Brown Bear as a bonus action as early as 2nd level.

 

If the above is true and said druid shapeshifts into the bear on his/her turn, can he/she then use the Multiattack action listed in the Brown Bear description (one bite attack and one claw attack)?

 

Thanks for any help!!

Yes, you can use the bear's multiattack on your attack action.

Ok, so I have a follow up question and forgive me if this has been answered already but I could not find it anywhere;  Do the natural weapons of animals whose form you take count as simple weapons so the druid can get his/her proficiency bonus on the attack or are they in their own catergory of weapons (like "Natural Weaponry").

I believe you retain your own proficiency bonus, and use either your own or the beast form's, whichever is better (PHB pg 67, first paragraph). You definitely use the beast form's key attribute (Str or Dex) for attacks.
