Answer to Question 1

Banks create money to make a profit. Banks create money when they make loans. The loans take the form of checking account deposits. Asking why banks create money is the same as asking why they make loans.

Answer to Question 2

The lender did not agree to a negative real interest rate, instead unanticipated inflation occurred. If the actual inflation rate exceeds the anticipated inflation rate, the actual real interest rate received by lenders and paid by borrowers can end up negative.
