holding pattern

i'm curious when the big jets do the holding , does the Auto pilot adjust the bank angle accordingly to get the perfect holding pattern , or it use's the standard RATE 1 turn and gets a somewhat elongated racetrack pattern ??

And when flying the approach the pilots still do the intercepts and give the heading instructions or the auto-pilot takes care of everything ??
