Are you talking about Unleashed or Rings?
Cos in Unleashed you just hit LB or RB to move during the 'speed' sections.
Unleashed. The LB and RB are just to shift over really fast. Watch the gamespot stage demo, Sonic starts the Mykonos stage in 3d mode, however he isnt automatically running. The behind the back sections may remind you of Secret Rings, but watching the gameplay demo, they arent on rails...most of them anyway. More like the original Crash Bandicoot.
You can still move left or right with the analog, but to quickly avoid obstacles that in any other 3d Sonic you'd smash right into unless you timed a jump right, you can press LB or RB to do a quick shift when either running in the behind back mode or on rails.

Notice the gradual tilting. You can still move left, right, forward, or backward with the analog, but if you're running TOO fast and are about to slam into a spike or bad guy, just use the shoulder buttons to quick shift out of the way instead of moving or jumping.
As for the on screen cues, those seem to happen for every normal control function, probably some sort of easy or tutorial mode. The only QTE events are when a series of buttons appear on the screen.
