1. Yes, that's called engine braking. It's more pronounced in lower gears. You can alleviate the issue by either (a) letting off the gas more slowly; or (b) just don't do that in first.
2. Just ease the transition a bit more. What's happening is you go from x% throttle to 0% instantly as soon as you press the clutch. So ease off the gas a bit first before you clutch in.
