Will a vehicle with an automatic transmission roll down a hill if the brake isn't applied and the car is in drive?

Yes, most definitely it will roll down the hill. When parking on a hill always set the parking brake. The park gear in an A/T can break, so do not take a chance. In drive the car will roll if the brake is not set.

What safety gear do you need for a car?
All cars have a neutral gear and all cars will start in neutral. It is recommended by all vehicle manufactures that the car's transmission be left in either park or neutral and that the emergency brake be set. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, then PARK is the safest gear, but most cars have manual transmission and no park gear, so the safest gear is NEUTRAL with the parking brake engaged.

Why does the automatic transmission not come out of park on a 1995 Lincoln Continental brake pedal is pushed but the shift lever will not release from park position?
If the vehicle is parked on a hill and the weight of the vehicle is being held by the parking gear you may find that it will be difficult to shift out of park. I suggest using the parking BRAKE to hold the weight of the vehicle while parked. Set the parking brake BEFORE you put it into park, or at least before you remove your foot from the brake pedal. That way you are having the parking brake hold the weight and the transmission becomes the backup for holding the vehicle. It should be a lot easier to get it out of park then.
