Answer 1

As far as I know mailto opens your default email client. It depends on your os settings or your browser settings.

Answer 2

The mailto: tag requests an email be generated and this will use whatever your OS defaults are usually.

If you want the mailing (of a form or similar) to be handled more discreetly you should use a php mailer script. These are easy to find online and install in your site.
