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.
I think it's obvious that he means the bike is in gear with the clutch lever pulled, or "engaged"
