Yes, that is correct. Altitude above sea level, for example, is negative or positive - if you are below sea level, a negative number will be used.
ascending relative
I KNOW FROM MY mind that altitude means going up.
QNE is pressure altitude, the pressure as if it were ISA conditions regardless of actual conditions, used above transition altitude. QNH is the actual pressure reduced to sea level.

Yes, your 'altitude' is a measure of your height relative to sea level. If by "as you get higher" you mean "as your intoxication increases" then No.
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
Altitude
Bogota's altitude is 8675 feet above mean sea level.
The altitude cannot be determined based solely on temperature and relative humidity. Altitude is primarily based on air pressure, not temperature and humidity. Additional information, such as air pressure or location, would be needed to accurately determine altitude.
An altitude is measured from mean seal level on Earth. So asking what the planet's altitude is, is a nonsense question.
Mean sea level (MSL) which is the average level of the sea. Determinig "sea level" is a very complex measurement. All other altitude measurements in aviation, in one way or another, are referenced from the mean sea level.
Vertical distance above mean sea level.
