'Speaking out of court' officially means 'hearsay', an inadmissable item of evidence. Idiomatic, casual or colloquial use could easily mean speaking inappropriately, i.e. behind another's back, or without giving the subject the opportunity to defend themself, or any other type of inappropriate speech.

How would an appeals court respond to a lower courts decision?

Generally speaking, most lower court cases do not reach a court of appeals. One factor is cost. Even if a lawyer is sure a court of appeals will review a case, that may not be a certainty. Then, how the appeals courts will rule is also generally not known. An appeals court may review a lower court's decision and determine that proper, lawful procedures were not taken by the prosecutor and perhaps the lower court case judge made a serious procedural error. The response of the court may be to overturn the case's verdict or confirm the verdict. Also, the appeals court may decide, after a proper review that the case does not meet state standards for a review.
