No, each face of the cube is an image of the surface in that wavelength. Follow one pixel all the way down the stack and you get a spectrum for that pixel.
As for the seismometer - what you describe sounds far too complex and energy-intensive for a small rover, possibly even potentially harmful to the rover, and I think the data would be far less able to resolve near-surface structures.
I have been playing with some numbers concerning the "daytime" at the Chang-E 3 landing site. There is a parameter called the Sun's Selenographic Colongitude which can be found in many astronomical tables.
