       --default-key name
                 Use  name as default user ID for signatures.  If
                 this is not used the  default  user  ID  is  the
                 first user ID found in the secret keyring.

AFAIK: yes.

For encryption only you never need a passphrase, because you don't
need your secret key but only the receivers public key for
encryption.  The passphrase is only needed to decrypt and/or to sign
messsages/keys.
