Questions about elevator-trim 737

Hi all,

i am a bit confused about the way the elevator-trim effects the neutral position of the control-columns.

As far as i understood the stabilizer works independent from the elevator....isnt it so?

During trim the stabilizer moves, but the elevators stays in position. So i assume the neutral-position of the columns doesn't changes, during trim operates!?

In other words/ questions: Let's say i pull the columns, so the elevators moves downwards, i use trim Up to compensate the forces needed to keep the pitch.
Will the columns stays in that position, even when the forces trimmed away, or will the columns move back step by step to the previous neutral position while trimming?

I remember that speed-trim/ mach-trim moves the columns a bit, but not totally sure to be honest:-) But that's another story

Hope someone can help me out with informations.
