There is no functionality built into the wallet to un-encrypt it.  The private keys all remain encrypted.

Yes.

Anytime the wallet needs to access an existing private key, or create a new private key, it will require you to enter your password.  The password.  This will allow the wallet to decrypt the necessary private keys or encrypt the new private key.

You can *dump* the private keys using the console if you wanted to move them to another wallet (note that you need to be aware of *change addresses* if you go down this path).

You will be prompted for the passphrase any time you attempt to send bitcoins or sign a message, but you don't need it to receive bitcoins or see your balance. There's no reason for you to ever decrypt your wallet, as that would pointlessly decrease security.
