Low oil quantity (specifically down to one quart indicated) in the system does or does not give low oil pressure?????
Low oil quantity does or does not give rise in oil temperature?????

Spare the rhetoric about false indications, the man was asking for the actual.
As has already been given in enough detail, the oil pressure indication may decrease, or may remain the same...and in some systems, may actually increase. Low quantity may produce a higher temperature, or may not, depending on what else is going on and the nature of the specific system.

Point is, you really can't simply state that low quantity means a high temperature, because that's often not true. You can't simply state that low quantity means low pressure, because that's also often not true.

I'm not sure how many times we need to keep saying the same thing here, but this material has been given before.
