So when your cruising (with cruise off) the rpms go up but you don't change your speed. But if you floor it, it will go. The part where it goes up to 3k rpms in the cruise control part sounds like it is shifting itself into 3rd for some reason. The other part sounds like it could be your torque converter going out

If RPMs go up but you don't feel acceleration, that's slip
in some friction set or other. I'd begin with lack of line
pressure, stock is kind of a weak profile. Can also happen
from low fluid.
