Wind both sucks and blows - it is air being drawn into areas of low pressure from areas of high pressure. High pressure areas experiences subsiding air, which then squeezes air at the surface to blow away from it towards areas of low pressure where air is rising. The smaller the difference between air pressure between two areas, the harder that wind will blow. To replicate this, just let a heavy object like a book fall onto a table and you feel a little rush of air around the book.

Since wind is the flow of air down a gradient, then if you're on the high road and air is flowing down to the low road, you're getting the wind sucked out of you. But if you're below looking up, the wind is coming or blowing at you.
Comes from here, goes there, or comes from there and comes here. Depends.

Wind is created by the differential pressure between the 'isobars' of a high or low pressure system. As higher or as lower the central pressure of a weather system is, as stronger will be the wind at the circumference of the outer isobar. A high pressure system 'pushes' the air from the centre to the outer circumference whereas the air is 'drawn' from the outer circumference into the centre of a low pressure system and slows down. - e.g. a cyclone has the strong winds at the outer circumference and a fully calm eye!!!

Wind also goes from hot areas to cold ones.
