Does the cohort lose a level, or does the character lose that cohort and attract another, since the cohort cannot be more than two levels lower than the character.(Barring a feat from,I think, Tome of Battle.)

If you're a 10th level character and you have 2 negative levels you're still a 10th level character until you fail your save Second The DMG report what happens when you lose a level and you've a cohort. 1) Your cohort do not gain ANY XP until you won't be at least two level higher than him. 2) If, in any moment, the XP that you're giving to a cohort make it level up and become only 1 level less than the leader, you'll stop the cohort to "1 xp under the needed to level up" stopping giving it XP. When the leader will level up, the cohort will gain his share of XP and level up it too
