What happens to the throttles/thrust levers if you keep your hand on them?
If they advance to TOGA will you notice?
If they don't advance to TOGA will you notice?

If you disconnect the a/t's and advance the throttles will the engines accelerate?
Not sure if you are serious but the answer to your questions is yes to all.
In Boeing aircraft the throttle moves wether in autothrust or not, meaning manualy pushing the throttle fwd will allways give you more thrust. When autothrottle commands more thrust the throttles will equally move forward as in manual thrust. Keeping your hands on the thrustlevers will therefore always give you feedback about thrust commanded.

However although pushing the throttles fwd when autothrottle is on will increase power, it returns to previous commanded thrust when hand is taken off unless autothrottle mode is changed as well.
