Why is my guitar out of tune on higher frets?
If the frets become worn and flat, your string length will change because the contact point on the fret has changed and your intonation will be off. If you have some deep grooves, or some of your frets are worn down, you may need to have the frets dressed, and re-crowned.
Are higher frets easier to play?
Fret gauge might have a bigger impact on playing feel than on tone for many guitarists. Wider frets are often attributed a smoother, more buttery playing feel, which also makes it easier to bend strings.
Should action be higher at higher frets?
Action should get higher as you reach fret 12 then slowly lower until the end of the fretboard. Typical action is roughly 1/8th of an inch above fret 12.
Is classical guitar action supposed to be high?

Given the greater amplitude of nylon string vibration (due to lower string tension), the action for a nylon string guitar will be slightly higher off the fretboard, although on the other hand, nylon strings are easier to press down than steel.
