1. Rear tire skid: you are supposed to ride it out; front tire skid: release & reapply (gently, not grabbing it). Although, if your rear tire starts to skid & your bike (the tire alignment) is still straight, then letting off & reapplying won't really hurt. The emphasis on riding it out is when your tires are no longer aligned, releasing the rear may cause a high side.
2. That's the best/safest way, if you aren't going very fast or in a sharp turn, then a little back brake won't hurt, however, a sudden stop, you should straighten up and apply the brakes as you said -- I had to do this at a stop light that just turned red around a corner (was going ~50mph) and ended up diagonal in my lane..but I stopped safely :P
