     Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.   
     If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the   
     correct kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.   
     If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to   
     copy the kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.

   So, if you are using an initrd you will need to update that one at each   
   kernel upgrade regardless of any root file system encryption.   
      
   I hope someone more familiar with grub will be able to answer your other   
   question.
