Managed/Selected ALT question

When given clearance to climb to FL 300 for example and you select 300 on the alt knob and PULL, and chose a vertical speed of 1500 fpm, you now want to remove the V/S and just want a selected open climb to FL 300, all you do is push and then pull the ALT knob. Is this correct?
Can you choose a V/S when you push the alt knob(managed climb)?

While climbing to FL 300, the ATC now clears you to FL 350, will rotating the ALT knob take you to FL 350 or do you have to either push/pull again?
Is it the same when you're maintaining level at FL300 and given climb to FL350?

Lastly, when on approach and after intercepting the glide, selecting the altitude for missed approach, will this never cause the aircraft to assume it should climb to that altitude?

Thanks!
