Yes. the vapor barrier, or paper, should always face the heated (or cooled) area. face the inside on exterior walls, face the ceiling of the room, and face the floor from the basement or crawl space.

No the paper faces down towards the basement. It acts as an insulation shield from the outside influence - namely the basement air and dampness. Same as when its' applied to the underside of siding - paper side out toward the wall that is facing the elements.

NO the paper faces the floor below or it will do nothing. Plus it is how you staple it to the floor joists above.
