Yes
The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic."Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin."Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).
Sucrose in the homogenization buffer helps to create a hypertonic environment, which helps to maintain the osmotic balance of the cell during the fractionation process. It also provides a medium for cell disruption and organelle separation due to differences in buoyant densities.

No, water is not hypertonic in nature.
Sugar is hypertonic in a solution.

Distilled water will move out of the dialysis bag and into the sucrose solution due to osmosis and the fact that the dialysis bag has a hypertonic solution of H2O as compared to the sucrose solution.

"hypertonic"
The lysozyme will break down the peptidoglycan layer of the gram positive bacterium, causing it to lose its structural integrity and burst. The presence of sucrose will create a hypertonic environment, leading to osmotic dehydration of the bacterium due to water moving out of the cell, adding to its demise.
