Wouldn't that provoke all air in the Earth to get sucked to the Moon due to the difference in atmospheric pressure?

Vacuum doesn't suck. The atmosphere on Earth would push air through the portal with a pressure of about 1 bar.

Yes, but the flow rate is only so much. It was only open for a short time before Glados closed it.
