Hope you and the clan are doing well Bull. Yea, we all have our own ideas. None of us were there so... do we really know what happened. Nope. Just me and my thoughts.... its really hard to miss 75 minutes of radio calls and ACARS messages (electrontic way of communication between the plane and company) if both were on a laptop, discussing "company policy". Again, thats just me.

Is it possible that a plane can fly itself for 75 minutes without any human interaction?

Probably a lapdance, not a laptop.

Yep. If its on autopilot, the speed reamins the same, but the plane with fly the "green line" and go point to point along the flight plan. If you run out of points, the plane will just stay on its last heading and follow it until......
