No the unit doesn't defend itself if it's garrisoned in the city

Garrisoned unit adds to the fighting capability of the city. So naturally it is concidered dead once city defenses are destroyed.

Right. It adds half it's combat strength to the city, and can attack on its own with no fear of being hurt if it's a ranged unit, so it naturally dies when the city does.

That may sound a bit confusing. The unit dies without a fight as soon as the city is captured. But if you just bombard the city to 0 HP and don't move a melee unit there to capture it, the garrisoned unit is still perfectly fine, can be at full health and can leave the city.

And should leave the city!
