I'd argue that everyone solves problems bottoms up. It's just that some people have done the problem before (or a variant of it) so they have already constructed a top-down schema for it.
No, there's a difference. The difference is whether you work in constraint space (top down) or in solution space (bottom up). Top down is effectively adding constraints until there is a single solution.
