Thanks SR.

I just want to confirm:

So with the autothrottle engaged, the throttles will move all the way to idle at the TOD.

As for the descent angle. The VNAV path descent angle is similar to a glideslope, but it's by no means based on a shallow 3 degree descent angle. 3 degrees is pretty shallow for an idle descent.
