Using a PGP key with email (piefed.ca)

Hello, I want to use a PGP key with my Proton mail account.

I was wondering how using PGP works exactly. Does it encrypt the whole email message? Or is it only a signature to prove it's origin?

How does it affect recipients if they don't have my public key? Or how do I share that key securely?

No I have a paid subscription. But I'm using their Android app, as well as Thunderbird in Linux.
