"how to drive a stick" question

It's been almost a year since I got my new baby and I still have a feeling that I'm not driving it right..
Last time I drove a stick was 15 years ago and it was my dad's car and it was 15yo at that time

Do you guys press clutch when braking?
Do you put the car in neutral when going downhill?

It seems that I can never match the speed when shifting in 1st or 2nd from neutral.
It's pretty smooth when I got from one gear to another, but if I put it in neutral when going downhill and the try to shift in lower gear (1,2,3) I always get that pinch.. it's never smooth.

Any tips for "how to drive a stick" ?

Thanks
Sasha
