Been done before....
Could be. You are supposed to verify positive rate before pulling the gear though.
But I don't recall the 320 having a TOGA deadzone, as far as I know if you select TOGA, you get TOGA. Sometimes the bus might not let you out of TOGA when you want out, but it should always let you in.
The way you select TOGA on a bus is by manually jamming the levers forward to the stop. You would not expect the plane to do that for you anyway.
