Question Relationship between alpha prot/max/floor

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get a better understanding of how these three relate to each other. Based on other related topics here, I gather that alpha floor causes the engines to deliver max thrust irrespective of the position of the thrust levers. Does it do anything else? Also this is a result of the aircraft having reached alpha max and therefore initiated by the alpha prot system. Is this correct?

If after reaching alpha max, one were to release the sidestick, would the aircraft automatically lower the nose to level attitude similar to where if the aircraft were overbanked it would automatically roll back to 33 degrees of bank?

Thanks in advance for the replies.
