Adding storage to iCloud

If I add storage to the iCloud and and my iPhone 4 is backed up the iCloud, will that free up more space on my phone? I want to upgrade to iOS6, but I can't, nor can I update my apps because I have no more room on phone. I have a 16gb with only .79 gb left on the phone.
And how do I get rid of the photos on my phone short of deleting each one individually? I shut off Photo Stream and stopped syncing the photos.

icloud is not a storage service as much as it is a backup and syncing service.  Most data that goes to icloud also has copies on the device, so you won't be gaining extra memory on the device.
As for photos...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  Once safely on a computer, you can delete many of them from the device.  You should be able to view photos in the Photo app in a grid layout, hit Edit and tap those you want to delete, then tap the trash can.  That's as fast as you can delete photos, I think, unless someone has a way to delete the cameral roll in one tap.
The bottom line is that if you device is nearly full, you'll just have to delete files from it.  Video and photos are a good place to start, since they can be synced and saved on a computer.
