Shaliach tzibbur

Question

Shaliach tzibbur
Before the shaliach tzibbur begins the repetition, does he need to step three steps back and then forward?
If there are not ten responding, and I said that if they do not answer Amen it will be a voluntary prayer (tefillat nedavah), did I do the right thing?

Answer

Shalom u-vracha (peace and blessing) 

1. Yes. 

2. You did excellently.
