I tend to select 4 so mine doesn't change up to top gear when I'm in and around Town.

As for your questions:
If your car stalled at speed you would have to stop, that's common sense. Although this is highly unlikely.
If you were towing then possibly I would select a lower gear depending on steepness of hill.
I expect it is possible, but why would you want or need to go into neutral while moving.

I use 4 for round town trips, ( as advised on the handbook ), moving the selector up to D if joining dual carriageway, motorway, or onto A roads wishing a higher road speed. Waiting at lights, in a traffic queues, I select N to keep the ATF from reaching high temps. Standing in traffic, in D, and foot on the brake to stop creeping, is not good for the ATF, doing that it gets far too hot.
