That's the purpose of the thing.
The airplane accelerates in the climb due to the pitch up reduction and the drag reduction.
Not always a N1 change from MCT to CLB, only always from TOGA to CLB. CLB can command the same N1 as MCT.
If it takes the MCT N1/EPR to accelerate and/or climb whilst in CLB, autothrust can command it. Pretty basic stuff.

On the road for a few days, will try and dig it up when I get back. From memory about page 50-54 of the official report.
