There can be 1 very large buyer and 1000 small sellers, and the price can go up as the buyer wants to buy more shares than the sellers are willing to sell at the given price.

The number of shares sold will always equal the number of shares bought.
Depends on your interpretation of the head line. Don't think its about number of shares.
