Yes, it is a complicated tool.
One option would be to wait for the GPA to be completed, which
can help you with most keyring operations.

Did you check the GPH, BTW?

You do not need a secret key to encrypt for somebody.
You just need the public key.

Search for the .gnupg/options files.
Use any text editor to edit or create it, if it does not yet exit.
Add the following line in there:
	"encrypt-to yourname"
of course replace "yourname" with a canonicial part of the name of
your key.

I don't know.
Did you try to import a key?
