The first part is definitely wrong for the A320 I fly. I often see people start to flare with the lever in the detent and invariably I will see an increase in thrust. This will happen all the way down to touch down.
Moving the lever forward of the CLB detent will give you full climb power if you leave it too long, IMHO it is asking for trouble.
