Answer 1

The easiest way to think of this is that bandwidth just corresponds to the diameter of the hose that connects the various points of the internet, and the water flowing through it is the data being moved.

The bigger the hose (bandwidth), the more water (data) you can deliver. If you need more water (data) then you can replace your existing hose (bandwidth) with a larger diameter hose (larger bandwidth), or just add more hoses.
