The ECM and TCM are programmed for self-preservation. You can't upshift if that would put engine RPM too low (lugging/stalling condition) and you can't downshift if that would take RPM above red-line. Several other safeguards/nannies programmed in - FSM will have details.
Yes. The 7AT will downshift on it's own, whether in A or M mode, to keep engine RPM up.
