If you were to reduce TQ to 10 ft-lb and the prop maintained 1,600 RPM, that means the slipstream is contributing 27.4 SHP. What the prop RPM at zero TQ and recommended One-Engine-Inoperative Climb speeds I have no idea.
Finally you are correct. You have no idea at all do you. Zero thrust is only in the Beta condition. All other positions are ever forward or reverse thurst. And what is the primary perpose of the auto freather in the B200.
