Hi, Thank you for your response.
Re 4: Ok. I suppose that makes sense. In theory, someone should check if the key is revoked first before encrypting to it. New issue: I played a bit more with the passwords. It appears that if you decrypt using "gpg *.gp" in the command prompt and you enter your password (via the gui window that pops up), that password is saved for the remainder of your session and a reboot it is needed to clear it. The same issue occurs via the gui. Is there a way to clear the password every time?
