I have had a permanent connection for 7-8 years by now, so I don't really remember, but afair ntpd can default to the local clock when there is no external signal. ntpd will know how much the local clock drifts, and can compensate for that such that time accuracy is actually quite good even during periods without a connection.
Yes, but this behaviour occurs after the clock has been "disciplined", and this can take days, perhaps weeks to happen. If the connection to internet is very sporadic it may not happen. In those cases it is better a different strategy - if you need an accurate clock. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
