Manual transmission is a direct mechanical linkage between the wheels and the engine. So, when in gear with the clutch engaged, the wheels will turn at a speed which is a ratio of the engine speed. E.g., assuming a ratio of 10:1, at 1000 rpm, the wheels will turn 100 times in a minute. This is basic math.
But wait! If the wheels are not moving, then the engine cannot move, either. Now, the car probably weighs around 1 to 1 1/2 ton. That's a lot of weight, and a lot of inertia to overcome (try pushing your car any distance, and you'll see what I mean!) At 1000 rpm, most cars don't make enough power to move a car. Even the momentum of the flywheel (a big, cast-iron wheel at the back of the motoe)r) isn't enough, unless you have an enoumouse flywheel (like diesel trucks). So, you give it more gas.
Here comes the problem. The engine is now spinning at 2000 rpm, but the wheels still want it to be still, like they are. So we slide the clutch plates gently together, feeding the power to the wheels gradually, and not taking all the power from the engine all at once. Thus, the engine can keep running, and the car starts to move. Taking all the power at once will either stall the engine (wheels force the engine down to their speed, i.e.0 mph) or cause the tyres to spin (engine has enough power to force the tyres up to its speed faster than the car can accelerate along the road)

It will not stall while in neutral because the gear lever is not in any gear - it is in neutral position, so the car won't have anywhere to go. It is perfectly fine to release the clutch while the car is in neutral - that's part of driving a manual.

An internal combustion engine has a certain minimum RPM that it needs to run at; otherwise it won't be able to pull in air and fuel and then burn it. Careless work with the clutch can pull the engine RPM down below that minimum RPM, and the engine can't stay working.

The type transmission doesn't have anything to do with the engine stalling.

You're letting the clutch out too fast. You can get the hang of it prettty quickly.

Need proper amount of gas inserted as you let off the clutch.
