No, that isn't how it works at all. You would broadcast a transaction to your friend for $20. It would sit in the mempool and eventually get picked up by miner and would then be forever logged in the blockchain.

So is it possible to broadcast a transaction saying "they paid me X", or is it limited to broadcasting transactions saying "I paid them X"?

Just the latter really. Your unspent transaction outputs (UXTO) would move to your friends address. Bitcoins are really UXTOs.
