Does the client API automatically handle a dropped Internet connection?
If so, how?
If not, what should I do with the PlayFab API when I detect a dropped connection?

The client API is just a wrapper around our Web API, and therefore does not do anything to handle the dropped Internet connection. To handle offline usage you will need to do your own offline caching. This is hard for us to anticipate how you want to handle, since every game is different. If you try to use our API, and there is no Internet connection, then presumably the Unity Web object which we use to do the HTTP calls will return an error that you'll need to catch and handle -- either by retrying when the connection comes back, or moving into an offline mode.
