This needs to be added to 9.1.
No.
It's possible that a UA will write the encrypted data to a file.
It's helpful for Mac files to have the right type. It certainly
isn't harmful to the document to add it.
The encrypted data is in an application/octet-stream body part
(which is the second part of a multipart/encrypted), not in
application/pgp-encrypted. application/pgp-encrypted is the first
part of a multipart/encrypted, which is supposed to hold meta
information about the encrypted data. With PGP/MIME, that's just a
dummy, containing the character string "Version: 1".
See also section 4, and the example on page 5 of the draft.
