It is responsible for the wind because when the atoms have direct contact, the heat gets transfered. So, that causes wind.

Are wind and ocean currents formed by convection?

Yes, insolation, which is the amount of energy a surface receives from the sun in kilowatts, at is less at the poles than the equator. This causes convection and in turn causes wind and ocean currents, but other influences, such as Earth's rotation and topography are also responsible.
