Wish I could answer that as I've never encrypted any device. The best I can suggest is try it and see for yourself.

I don't really know either as I never encrypted any of my drives or devices before. I can only guess that apps will still have access to any thing on your device based on its permissions regardless of encryption. Otherwise, apps will either display odd behaviour or strange bugs.
Encryption is only used to encrypt the data and everything else on the device. This should prevent anyone from easily retrieving any data straight out from the storage memory of the device. Thus making it a little harder to get any information without putting effort into cracking the encryption deployed.

I just remembered why I don't encrypt anything--Sometime back in the 90's when I got my 1st laptop I did something funky on it. I call myself encrypting some "pertinent" stuff and was never able to get back into it afterwards. That was enough to make me never consider it again and not look back.
