1. That's correct.
To send items to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you need a 2012 or newer Mac model with OS X Yosemite or later, excluding the Mac Pro (Mid 2012).
Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support
2. iPhone's Bluetooth is not meant for file transfer. You need to send files another way, such as email, a cloud service, or Photo Stream (for photos).
