Does subdomain forward with domain?

If by "forward" you mean a web-based redirect, then yes. If you mean a
DNS alias (CNAME), then no.

>Or will visitors to subdomain A be forwarded as well?

If by "forward" you mean a web-based redirect, then no. If you mean a
DNS alias (CNAME), then yes.

It's probably worth pointing out here, though, that there's no
standard definition for the term "forward" in this context. It's just
a marketing term used by hosting companies, and they don't all use it
in the same way. So you can't really get a sensible anser to this
question in an open forum without first specifying which hosting
company you're using.
