Do you actually tow with your hand on the release?

Yes - for both aero-tow and winch and for the same reasons in both
cases: if the tip hits the ground, RELEASE. Good practise on any grass
field and standard doctrine on my club's field.

What happens at 100 feet when you hit a good bump and
accidentally release?

Hand ON the release doesn't mean "Fingers wrapped round the knob and
release cable pre-tensioned". If your fingers are straight and resting
against the knob a bump can't cause an accidental release, but curling
fingers round the knob and pulling is still instant.
