The higher notes definently require more air. No problem there.
As for bending, perhaps you should try a different harmonica? But first try alternatingly moving your jaw, puckering and pursing your lips, and moving your tongue...all these things can produce a bend, which is very easy once you get it. My best tip is to try to make a wee-ooo-wee-ooo noise. Use the same lip/tongue movements on your harp as you would when making this noise w/o your harp.
If it still doesn't work, try an easily-bendable harp such as mine (Hohner Blues Harp).
