What happens is up to PHP to decide in this case. If the browser
disconnects from the webserver, thus PHP is interrupted, then yes, that
sounds like what should happen.

Persistent & pooled connections are managed by the client. It is up to
PHP to determine what needs to happen. PHP should be resetting (rolling
back) the connection when it re-enters into the pool, but the database
has no knowledge that sharing is taking place.
I'm not entirely sure. Haven't tried persistent connections since the
early 3.x days.
