The main wing will result in a buffeting that is felt throughout the aircraft. You have likely noticed it in your power off stall work.
With a tail stall you will feel that buffet in the yoke. It may feel particularly sloppy or jolt from the buffet (a near stall condition).

See above. Also, the nose will fall forward rapidly. You should wonder, what is the aerodynamic difference between the main wing and horizontal wing?

Pull back.
