What he said was rate of climb, that's how many feet or meters you climb per second or per minute.
You're going faster going forward, but your climb rate, (ft/sec or m/sec) slows, your still climbing, just not as fast.
You get the same effect if you climb as a shallower angle of 20-30 deg vs 50 deg.
Yes, precisely. There's no glitch that provides a magical energy bonus from rolling or flying inverted, you just go faster when you're not gaining altitude as quickly.
