I have come across multiple videos where an astronaut will let go of an object (just watched one where it was a bolt), and all of them tend to float upwards relative to the camera. Could it just be that earth is actually positioned “up” from the camera so gravity has an effect? or is it that when they let go of the object, they are subtly pushing it upwards? idk could somebody explain.

It’s the fact you are observing videos *meant* to show off weightlessness. That are all edited and filtered through to be entertaining and interesting looking. Not a representative sample of all behavior.
It’s like me looking at boxing highlights and saying “everytime I see someone punching in boxing it’s always a Knock Out”
