Communication between:
        Your Host -> Tor Entry Node
        is encrypted

        Tor Node <-> Tor Node
        is encrypted

        Tor Node Exit -> Destination in the Internet
        depends, if you use Protocols like https, imaps, pop3, ... then it is, 
in
        nearly all other cases it is _not_ encrypted

Your ISP can detect that you are using Tor, if you use Tor correctly. Thats all.
How to configure Tor, and the applications correctly, is shown on many pages
in the Tor wiki.
