If your motor is running fine now, then you probably didn't do any damage, but I would hook the car up to the Durametric reader to see what range of over-revs you are at. Sounds like you caught it before you did any damage.

As far as skipping gears on downshifts, I go from 4 to 2 on the track all the time. I just wait until I am almost done with braking before I downshift. Haven't had a problem at all. Many recommend never skipping gears because in the heat of battle, its easy to forget where you are and downshift too early, but I find its important to concentrate first on braking, and then when you have that under control, do the downshift.
