Wouldn't there be a delay between the time you flicked your wrist and the time the spot actually aligns, due to the limited speed of light?

Yeah, and observing this is a good way to see that information isn't actually being transferred faster than light.
Yep, definitely.

An outside observer that just sees the spot on the moon (but has no clue that it's produced by you flicking your wrists), just sees a spot that moves insanely fast.

No information, energy nor matter travels faster than light here, of course.
