No. Bearing is typically as the number of degrees clockwise from North (up):
so 295° is in the northwesterly direction.

a) v (arrow on top of v) = 4km at a bearing of 295 degrees.
Would this be correct?

No bearing 295° is measured from true North, i.e. ↑, clockwise. 270° would be to the left or a 9 o'clock setting direction, so 295° would be up 25° from the 9 o'clock direction.
↑ = 0° 0 or 12 o'clock
→ = 90° 3 o'clock
↓ = 180° 6 o'clock
← = 270° 9 o'clock
