An automatic page break is a feature that automatically generates a new page, allowing text to flow to the new page when space runs out on the previous one; also known as a soft page break
or "background repagination"
an automatic page break is a generated page break that automatically puts a new page onto the document.
No, Word does not adjust manual page breaks that follow an automatic page break. That is, unless you specifically set it to. The default option is that your manual breaks are intended to be however you entered them.

I have never heard of a "locked page break". If the page break is part of the preceding or following paragraphs formatting you can change that in the Text Flow attribute of the paragraph. If it is a "manual page break" then it can be deleted. If the document is locked, you have to have the password to unlock the document before you can alter it.
Automatic page-breaks are inserted by the software - when the text you're typing reaches the printable boundary of the page. You cannot delete an automatic page-break. The reason you can delete manual page-breaks is because they are user-controlled - 'forcing' the computer to start a new page earlier than the software would normally do.
No, actually a soft page break is when the word processing program automatically separates the pages for you (in other words, you are out of room on the previous page, and it automatically continues on to the next). When you manually insert a page break, this is called a hard page break.
