Yes.
What would be the rate of climb and AOA?
You control AoA with the elevator, that changes your load factor, which determines the rate of change of rate of climb. In other words, if n=load factor, c=rate of climb, and t=time, then dc/dt=(n-1)*g
At what altitude would the speed be below stall-speed and what would the stall speed be?
That depends on how you use the elevator, i.o.w. how much 'g' you apply.
