Yes,Boeing and AB are different, but stab in limit positions makes control difficult in both.
Using of manual trim can save day..or maybe not..
No, they probably didn't, but the point is that they didn't need to. Continued forward pressure on the side stick would have been enough. Completely different to the many 737 LOC-Is (and some non FBW Airbus types, A300s and A310s) where the crews would certainly have been better off if they understood what the stab was doing, or in some cases actually using it.
