By default, it will assign equal costs. Remember, though, that the
OSPF specification doesn't define any meaning of cost. Much of the
industry has chosen to use bandwidth-based cost, but you are
describing exactly the sort of situation where manually assigned
costs may be appropriate.

You don't. Good encryption should remove all redundancy, so
compression can't do anything with it. You may, however, get benefit
from compressing before encrypting, especially at an application
level.
