Does using a pasword input type input name=password type=password 
make the transfer more secure from someone sniffing my connection or does 
it only shield an onlooker from seeing what the user enters?

It is possible to md5 encrypt a password before you send it off to the
server using javascript onSubmit function. Check this code out:
