Very confused about blood pressure, resistance and Velocity

So This is what I understand.

When radius decreases, pressure increases. Due to P = F/A and area decreases.

When pressure increases, velocity decreases? I am confused as to why.

Is it due to the fact that resistance increases and this causes velocity to decrease?

But according to the continuity equation, AV= AV,
if
(10)x = 5(2), the initial velocity will be 1m/s while the pressure would be lower as well.

In this picture, why is the 1st region having a higher pressure? Shouldn't it...
