Does the TI "Close down more" pushes the defensive line up? If so, what's the difference between "close down more" and "push higher up"?

Also, what would be a good standard player instruction set to transform a wide midfielder into a wide forward? (Kind of like Thomas Muller)

Basically just your width. There is also a difference in passing structure as Control would have slightly shorter passing at the back and more direct in attacking positions, but that's about it.

But surely there are differences between the mentality structure in both systems right?

What i mean is this: Mentality determinates how defensive or attacking the team i set out plays. So if i raise the width, passing, tempo, closing down, defensive line, creative freedom, etc. all by one stage through team instructions (in a team on standard mentality) they would be set to play just as if i was using a team on a "control" mentality? Even if the team on standard has a lower mentality structure than the team on "control"?

What's the difference between using an attacking mentality (say, control for example) and using a less attacking mentality (Standard in this case) with team instrucions such as "play with a higher defensive line", "Higher Tempo", "More direct passing", "Close down much more"?
