Because whichever hemisphere you are located in is tilted toward the sun. Depending on what point in it's orbit around the sun the earth is located at, the earth will be tilted either towards the sun, or away from it. In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, and requires more time to travel from one horizon to the other. The days keep getting longer until the summer solstice, at which point the days start getting shorter until the winter solstice. The halfway points are marked as the spring and fall equinox.

No. Summer days are longer - if you're some distance away from the equator - because the Earth is slightly tilted on its axis. This influences how long the Sun will remain over the horizon.
