Interactive Brokers allows shorting of stocks, but you would need to check which stocks can be shorted as not all are allowed.

if i close a short for a profit do i just collect the difference or do i have to sell the stock after buying it back?

You just collect the difference

There are many UK brokers who will let you short UK stocks, but they need to know you, so beginners with no trading track record are simply refused.
When I traded UK my broker gave me X 5 gearing on T10-T25
Trade the US to make real consistent returns instead.
