If you pitch up in a Seneca the speed IAS will decrease, because of the constand speed drive (in the propeller hub).
The propellers want to maintain the original RPM. Therefore the blades will go to a more fine blade setting.
Only hydraulic gear.

We feather to stop windmilling and reduce drag.
No, you mechanically change a valve that changes the air intake to air that runs past the exhaust manifold and is therefore heated.
