    Nothing to stop moisture collecting on surfaces and dust particles adhering to it.

    Moisture does not collect in space. individual wate molecule may adhere to a surface bou once there are two or more molecules the water evaporate because the lack of air pressure bring the 'boiling point' far below zero.

    When we say "space" I assume inside human habitation. Anywhere there are humans there is moisture. If the void of space we are talking about then it becomes conditional. Example.. a space probe launched from Earth stays relatively clean until it travels through the tail of a comet or through an asteroid belt or outer atmosphere of a gas giant. Time in space is also a factor. We often are not entirely wrong as much as we often are not entirely correct.

    it really depends on where in space. In orbit around an inhabited/earlier planet it can become dirty from space waste and dust.

    But in deep space, the main problem are  micro/ meteors. They could  hit your space suit or space  ship creating little dents or knock you out completely lol

    Both dusty and dirty, but it takes quite a while.

    The solar wind deposit individual particles on everything it passes near. Thank fully it goes slowly. you can still look out the windows of space stations that was put into orbit 2 years ago.
