What happens when i drive at high speed (50+ MPH) on the freeway and accidently hit the paddle shifter? will the car grind to a halt?

What you probably did was hit the down shift lever. The car would have felt like you suddenly hit the brakes if you managed to down shift to 1st gear. On the highway the results wouldn't be as dramatic as you would simply drop from 7th to 6th, which you wouldn't even notice except that the RPM's would come up slightly. The car will not let you make an illegal gear change, i.e. one that would over-rev the engine or stall.
