As for the second thing, it sounds like a fuel problem. Were you low on fuel and/or stopped downhill? In any case, you should get a mechanic to diagnose it.
You don't need to worry about rolling back. Use the rear brake lightly to keep the bike from rolling back and give it a little extra gas. You can do the same thing in a car with the emergency brake.

Nah ... my tank is almost 3/4 full so not a fuel problem. Yeah, I'm thinking about taking it in to the shop. Oops ... a newbie error ... yes, occasionally I do have the clutch fully engaged when I'm at a light (other times I'm just right near the friction zone with the clutch).
