Is the blood moving in a pulsing manner (i.e. move - stop-move, in sync with the heart), or is it constantly flowing?

Yes and yes.

The amount of fluctuation in blood pressure (and therefore also the amount of fluctuation in the rate at which blood is flowing) diminishes steadily as you go from the heart (where fluctuation is greatest) and towards peripheral tissues (where fluctuation is smallest). By the time blood returns to the heart, it's flowing very smoothly.
