Yes.

M-x org-reveal (C-c C-r)

They will be encrypted on save as long as they are marked with "crypt"
(or `org-crypt-tag-matcher', if you alter it).

Yes. AFAIK, the symmetric password is never reused. Though it may depend
on your gpg settings.

Just the entry.

You are right. Patches are welcome!
