Typically, When you feel anxious and really stressed, your blood pressure will rise. The reason is because the body is acting the same way it does when it is on an adrenaline rush, but there is no reason to fly or fight, so the faster pulse speeds just stay, thus, blood pressure rises.

Can blood pressure lower over time?

I'm not a doctor, but I would think that over time, once you learn to control your anxiety and fear, then you can lower your blood pressure. Another way would be to remove yourself from the environment in which you are surrounded by, that is raising your blood pressure. Anxiety disorders and genetic pre dispositions to high blood pressure don't help but you can either take medications or exercise to help lower it over time. In conclusion, yes over time if you continuously stop creating cortisol in the body, your blood pressure should return to normal.

It will, to an extent, due to its calming euphoric effects. It's not recommended to take in place of regular blood pressure medications. I believe it does, because when you withdrawal from opiates, your blood pressure rises. This could be due to anxiety, however. Stick with blood pressure meds, trust me.
