If they have spyware on your computer, they could still see what you're doing. But if they just took your computer, they couldn't crack the encryption and see what's on it.

Yes... make sure you enable incognito mode too.

No. Disk encryption is for physical attacks, not virtual ones.

Lel, even that ISIS guy from tumblr said that they changed any apple technology because it was compromised.

Your best bet is to choose another hardware vendor and choose a thinkpad or elitebook pre 2008 if you don't care about performance. Then install your OS in a headless luks mbr partitioned disk.
