These 2 Questions both require knowing whether You mean the actual Key
or User ID's on the Key.

It might be important to Note here that a single Key can support many
different Email Addresses through the use of multiple UID's. [User ID]
There is no reason to create a separate Key for each Email Address.

Yes, it matters!  Without the Secret half of the Key a Revocation
Certificate _cannot_ be generated.  Best Practice dictates that whenever
a Key is created/generated that a Revocation Certificate be immediately
created and stored in a Secure Location should the need to use it ever
arise. [this is particularly true if the reason revocation is needed is
due to a forgotten or compromised passphrase]

> What will happen with the signed emails I have sent?

Absolutely nothing.
