All is normal.
1) It kicks in ... Does it mean it down shift to 3rd... If yes, it is normal.
2) If you are accelerating and you lift off... if would slow you down a bit as the TC is still locked... normal.
3) Above 80 in 4th u can downshift to 3rd if you lift off ur right foot for a split sec when you are downshifting, otherwise, the ECU will override your request and keep it in 4th which is normal. You can the 4 indicator flashing!

Have same symtoms with my 2002tls w/7200 miles on it. While running very slow at about 35mph and in regular auto the engine appears to slow(rpms drop from 1500 to 1000) as if brakes have been applied. Feels like a cutout on the engine or sorts. This is not an upshift cuz the rpm's decrease. Haven't taken it to the dealer yet..but plan on it soon......

I dont know if its an early warning sign or what not. but either way, if its intermittent, you know its gonna be a hard time to show it to the dealer.
as for the transmission actually having problems or failing, trust me, as any fellow busted tranny member can attest, when it happens, you KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that its gone. the car jerks VIOLENTLY and lights flash on.. !!

1) Grade-Logic is kicking in. This makes the most sense b/c you mentioned that the brakes feel like they are applied. Grade-Logic slows your car down using engine braking.
2) The torque converter is kicking in. When you're in a gear cruising the torque converter locks up and drops the RPMs. This helps you get better MPG.
Sounds to me like your car is fine......
