Yes
Chile is a country that is longer north to south than it is east to west.
Yes, the Sun sets in the West, and rises in the East. During the longer day-light hours of summer in the UK, for example, the sun will rise more towards the north-east, passes towards the south at noon, and sets in the north-west, which gives a longer arc on which to travel across the sky - hence, longer days!
its lattitude. If you are going east-west you are going left or right and then straight in that direction

Basically, the Sun rises in the East, and sets in the West, so you would be walking towards the West. But, the arc is longer in Summer, so the Sun may rise in the North-east, pass to the South at noon, and set in the North-west, so the Sun takes longer to rise and set. It is during the shorter days of Winter that the Sun makes the shortest arc of South-east to South-west as viewed in the Northern Hemisphere.
The West. Even though the East has the Appalaichan Mountains, the Rockies are still much longer and bigger.
