Is it possible to charge the Macbook from the USB A port using this adaptor?
Does the USB A port on this adaptor supply power to the USB c port¿

No. USB-C uses 20 volts and 5 amps of power, compared with the 5 volts and 1.8 of USB-A. The multiport adapter is designed to be an output hub, not a charging mechanism.
