Your payments and bank info will be covered by HTTPS, its encrypted and should be hidden from Phorm.
Other ecommerce details such as shopping basket/order summary/delivery address may or may not be encrypted.

Probably. Some webmasters in this country are none too happy about their content being parasitically scammed by Phorm. See
www.dephormation.org.uk for sample code which will allow web masters to detect Phorm.
