Even near landing speed, there is a LOT of interia available for what might be called a zoom climb- trading speed for altitude in short term. NO additional thrust required. However after perhaps a few hundered feet gain at low speed, withoutr a mmajor change in energy available ( thrust) or a major decrease in drag, the plane will then drop.

No, if there is no thrust on (or only approach thrust) you won't get anywhere near "a few hundred feet" high. A zoom climb won't happen.
