You have to tank your MMR considerably before you can get demoted from a tier. There is 10 games of demotion protection after a tier promotion (3 for division), after which you are subject to demotion on a 0 LP loss, but good MMR can provide additional protection. There is no indication of whether you'll definitely be demoted or not, though.

Depends on MMR, a silver 3 mmr is generally considered to be the mmr where you drop to silver. Which is 5-10 games if we are generalizing
