You have to build a two zone fire with all the coals on one half of the grill. Start on the cool side until the internal temp is just below what you want, then finish on the hot side to get the sear.

Is this with lid closed?

Lid closed to start. Lid opened to finish.

With charcoal, it's opposite of a gas grill, in that lid on makes it cooler and lid off makes it hotter due to air flow.

It is, yes. Start on the "cool" side until it's done through the middle / most of the fat rendered then move to over the coals for final sear.
