Auto
I have had a search and cant find anything, I have just brought an auto and it moves along at idle is this normal.
I know you can get some movement but this seems quite fast.

Unless you apply the brakes then a car with an automatic box will move if the drive in engaged. I have never had an auto that did not do this so yes it is normal.

Yes, they all creep, and it makes them a doddle to park in a tight space!

If left on a level road mine gains enough speed to change up and do about 15-20 mph on tick over. Quite normal.

Yes plods along in drive but very useful in slow moving or stop start traffic, with your foot over the break of course

Great isnt it!
It will even hold the car stationary on a hill. Needless to say I do not miss my manual one jot...

That said hired a Seat MPV for work last week and that thing even in drive wouldn't hold on a slight incline, with one of those electronic hand brakes not a pleasant car to drive at all.
Acceleration on pulling away however light resulted in front wheel spin and to cap it all had a bad back after sitting in its transit van style driver seat.
