So, rougly speaking, Bernuolli explains the cause of lift (the pressure difference), Newton explains the effect of the pressure difference.
Yes, exactly.

As you alude to, you cannot attempt to model each and every particle going over different sections of an aerofoil. At some point certain generalisations have to be made.
