I don’t think you can get older operating systems prior to the previoius one
through the App Store. I think if you needed Lion or Sierra or something like
that, you’d have to use
support.apple.com
And search for the installer for that OS. I could be wrong, but I think that’s
how it would work.
Yes, I think after you sign in once, you remain signed into the App Store as
far as I can tell. Look under the store menu that shows your account name.

I used that second account I created and App store let me
sign in. After giving my user ID and password and got out, the
second time, I got exactly the same behavior so it makes me think
that if you login once, you don't have to login each time you use
App store again.
That's not a bad thing but it's different.
I am presently running catalina and hope to roll back at
least for now to Mojave.
I think all those are in a specific area of the App store
so if somebody wanted to roll back to Lion, they could. When I
was on Mojave briefly, it seemed to be a little more stable so
I'm trying to down-grade at least for the time being.
