1) Only the contents of the .gpg files is encrypted, so no, your URLs and
usernames are not confidential if you put them in the password paths.
2) I use a mix. Most of the time I put the username on the second line of
the password file, but I seldom use anything else than my email address or
my preferred username (which is usually free) so I rarely need to. In the
few cases when I have multiple usernames/passwords on the same site or
contextual domain, I put the username in the password path (for example:
ssh/me at machine1, ssh/me at machine2 etc. for my SSH key passphrases).
