This is the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) keeping the vehicle prepared for its shift back into gear. If the vehicle detects motion (by VSS signal or ABS Signal) it will keep the engine's RPM's Higher than normal to achive a smooth transition into gear rather than jerking or lurching the vehicle. This prevents damage to the transmission, and typically provides a smoother ride.

What happens when sudden brakes are applied to the vehicle without using clutch?

If the vehicle is stopped without using the clutch , the engine will give jerks and turn off if the vehicle is in higher gear and the speed is not according to the range of the gear. Although, if the vehicle is being driven in higher gears and slight brakes are applied, no effect will be there if the vehicle's speed remains in the corresponding range. Example: if you are driving a vehicle at 90km/h in 5th gear and you bring it down to 60km/h by applying brakes without using the clutch, nothing will happen and you can continue driving by accelerating again.

When it shifts into overdrive your engine won't rev as high , your gas mileage will be better etcetera
