Because winds are named for where they come from, polar easterlies blow from the poles in the east out to the west.
It occurs both at the North and South Pole
Polar Easterlies

Polar easterlies are dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the east. They emanate from the polar highs, areas of high pressure around the North and South Poles. Polar easterlies flow to low-pressure areas in sub-polar regions. Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes.
The Polar Easterlies are dry prevailing winds that blow from high pressure areas in the north and south poles. These winds are also called Polar Hadley cells.
Wind belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude are called polar easterlies.

No, only the Polar Easterlies (in both hemispheres). The Westerlies only blow in the mid-latitudes.
Because winds are named for where they come from, polar easterlies blow from the poles in the east out to the west.
Wind patterns are the way the winds blow. There are six major wind belts and each hemisphere is divided into three wind belts. The wind belts are polar easterlies, the westerly's, and the trade winds.
