The Earth is tilted on it's axis by 23.5 degrees - this causes either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere to experience winter or summer at different times of the year, both the hemispheres cannot tilt towards the sun at the same time, which is why for example - as I write this in December 2013, it is currently winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

What is the season in the northern hemisphere when the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun?
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun it is summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's axis is on a tilt relative to the Sun. This means that during the year as it follows its regular orbit around the Sun, for a period one hemisphere is closer to the Sun than the other. This is what creates the seasons we have on Earth. When one hemisphere is closer to the Sun more heat is felt there. This is known as "summer". This is similar to how holding your hand closer to a flame will make your hand feel warmer. Clearly, at the time one hemisphere is closer to our Sun, the other hemisphere is further away, meaning it is in "winter". When the two hemispheres are equidistant from the Sun then it is spring in one and autumn (fall - if you're American) in the other.
Is there more daylight time during the summer or winter months?
There is always more daylight during the summer months, which is what makes them summer months. Note, of course, that when it is summer in one hemisphere, it is winter in the other. Total daylight on earth overall varies little from day to day or season to season.
