I don't have any solid answer David to any of your questions. It does make sense as to why screen readers would not scroll the page. They are already looping through the DOM and extracting information. It would be quite hard if not impossible for them to know where the visual part is at the bottom of the screen.

I usually inform my audience that if they cannot see where my cursor is to speak up. I then play it by ear based on what I am presenting.

Try to tab if your audience inform you that thy cannot see where you are at. That tends to help in certain situations.
