Quick question regarding usage of 5AT
Can anything bad happen to the tranny if I change from neutral to drive when the car is moving? How about changing from reverse to drive when the car is still rolling backwards?

Depends how well you match the speed, if you throw it into drive while rolling at high speed you will probably just slow down REALLY fast. As far as from reverse to drive that stresses the engine and tranny. I would not view either to be lethal though it may reduce the life. On mythbusters they repetativly through a car going 60 into reverse, tranny lasted.

couple month ago I did that N - > D by accident while going down a hill. I was parked on downhill and I thoguth I was in D when I pulled out, but in fact I was in N. I was about 20MPH and when I switched to D, I heard gears minorly rubbing.
from D - R or N - R I believe new TL won't do that as long as you are over certain speed. 10MPH?

The transmission isn't stupid - it will compensate. You can be rolling at 60 in neutral, pop it in drive and it will NOT jerk or slow you down, it will just go immediately to the appropriate gear. It's not bad for your transmission.
The shifting to D while still rolling backwards, however, stresses the whole drivetrain.
