Adverse Yaw - Dont Understand

From youtube:
alieron deflect down:
effective increase in camber
increase in effective aoa
increase in lift

alieron deflect up:
effective decrease in camber
decrease in effective aoa
decrease in lift

Q1 Can anyone explain to me why if the alieron is deflected up, it will cause decrease in lift?
Airplane wings are curved at the top to produce more lift.
Am I right to say that?
Correct me if I wrong.

Q2 There is more drag generated by downward alieron.
Can anyone explain why there is MORE drag in a downward alieron compared to an upward alieron?
