Default direction of delta using arrows

Consider the following data.

Q1) Is there a way to show the delta in a column (maybe floating column)
chart with a block arrow showing the direction of change instead of a regular
column? (2nd data set)

Q2) AND, show the %delta as well (3rd data set)? (I've tried staggering the
data on a secondary axis [as I have in other charts] but it ends up 'under'
its respective column.)

TIA for any help.
