Lefty loosey, righty tighty
a looser nut makes for more bow. Counter clockwise loosens it, and Clockwise tightens the nut, just like 99% of screws.

As far as the action adjustment, check your relief first (fret 1 and 24, check around fret 8, and then fret 1 and 16 and check around fret 6). you want like a bit under 2 mm on the bass side, like 1.5mm on the treble side. After that, everything should be adjusted on the bridge to get it close. from there, finetune it all
