That's normal and not related to A/C. If the engine is cold, the car tends to start the engine immediately when shifting into Drive, and occasionally even before.

Out driving around, the gas engine normally was running while cruising with pressure on the gas pedal. Releasing the gas pedal to coast and the engine would stop after 2 or 3 seconds, and remained stopped while at red lights. As soon as gas pedal was pressed when light changed green the engine immediately started.

Sounds like the engine and/or catalytic converter were not fully warmed up. It's near-impossible using EV mode until the car has been on the road for a while.
