I with Sarris. 20 questions is OK......but it gets a little old when all 20 seem to be the SAME question.
You need to find some dirt or grass and practice locking the back a bit to see what it does.
It depends on a lot of factors: pavement surface, speed, direction and whether or not you are also applying the front brake.
You should not abruptly release a skidding back tire. If you haven't practiced enough that you can feather it a bit, then it is better to keep it locked. Yes, it probably will go to the side....and applying more front will cause it to go MORE sideways.......but you are still slowing down more than you would if you released it.
