Why is the direction of position v upwards?

The wave is moving from left to right (as indicated by the arrow), so, given that at the current instance the amplitude of the position V is 0 (or whatever midpoint the dashed line corresponds to), in the immediately next instance the position will continue increasing as the wave moves from left to right. The peak currently shown at U will at some point "arrive" at V. At that point the location V will have the maximum amplitude. After that the direction at position will be downward, etc.

you'd use the equation that establishes a relationship between  energy  and  wavelength, which looks like this

e=h⋅cλ, where

λ  - the wavelength of the photon; c  - the speed of light, usually given as  3⋅108m/s; h  -  planck's constant, equal to  6.626⋅10−34j s

plug the value you were given for the energy of the photon in the above equation to get the wavelength

e=h⋅cλ⇒λ=h⋅ce

λ=6.626⋅10−34js⋅3⋅108ms−1.257⋅10−24j=1.581⋅10−1m
