Airbus FBW Autothrust Question

You are in a steady state normal cruise at (say) FL350 with AP and ATHR engaged and in managed speed. You encounter a wind shift that causes the speed to start reducing. The ATHR tries to compensate for this by increasing thrust. Eventually the thrust is up to the current limit, but the speed is still decreasing and approaching VLS. If you now push the thrust levers up to the TOGA gate:
(A) Do you get any further increase in thrust?
(B) What would the FMA now be reading?
