That's just the way the electrons are distributed. I won't pretend to know why exactly it makes that shape but you would never need to know the reason for A-levels.

The spherical orbital is the s-orbital.

By convention mathematically the z axis points upwards. Imagine a 2D object lying in front of you - that shows you the x and y axes. Then to make it 3D you add depth upwards.
