Pressure Temperature relationships

Hello everyone, I am going to be writing my CPL exam soon and had a quick meteorology question, it may sound silly so I apologize in advance. There are many temperature and pressure relationships (Northern Hemisphere, although it probably wont make any difference but though of adding it either way). For example:

1) As height increases, Pressure always decreases, due to the weight of the atmosphere decreasing but the Temperature varies from layer to layer.

2) When True Altitude is higher than Indicated we can see that this happens when both Pressure and Temperature increases

3) Then comes Pressure Systems, High Pressure Systems usually means Cold Temperatures and Low Pressure Systems usually has High Temperatures

I may be missing out something obvious but I would really appreciate some help to get me back on track. Thank you!
