There are courses available for claw hammer banjo. I'm sure they can be found on YouTube. Good luck.

claw hammer banjo is traditionally down picking, but there is no reason why up picking cannot be used, to my ears it seems to be similiar to frailing but without very much bump ditty and using more drop thumbing and less pulling off and hammering on

It sounds like clawhammer to me. Sawmill tuning would work. gDGCD.
