Red face Dumb questions from a Newbie...

Okay I know these aren't high tech or complicated questions so don't strain yourself, I just want to know one way or the other.
1. I have an automatic car does it shift based on the RPMs or speed?
2. I watch RPMs and try to keep them as low as possible. And don't make any fast stops or starts. What should be my next step to improve milage?
3. Is what I'm doing something that even makes sense?
4. Will coasting in neutral damage my (non-hybrid) car?
5. Does coasting in neutral help gas milage more then coasting in drive?

I just wanted to get a few basics straight before I tell my husband what I've been doing... he's a mechanic and I know he'll bring up a point I can't prepare for, but knowing for sure that I'm on the right track will help.
Thank you,
Shannon (slowmomma)
