TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the mechanism by which two email servers, when communicating, can automatically negotiate an encrypted channel between them so that the emails transmitted are secured from eavesdroppers.
It is becoming ever more important to use a company that supports TLS for email transmission as more and more banks, health care, and other organizations who have any kind of security policy are requiring their vendors and clients to use this type of encryption for emailed communications with them. Additionally, if your email provider supports TLS for email transmission, and you are communicating with people whose providers do also, then you can be sure that all of the email traffic between you and them will be encrypted.

Any time you register a domain name, you are required to provide valid contact information for the owner of the domain. This information is published and made publically available in the "WHOIS" database. Anyone can look there to see who owns the domain and to contact the domain owner if necessary.
Private Domain Registration, or WHOIS Masking, or contact privacy, is a service offered by some domain registrars where they will either (a) not publish the domain owner’s contact details, or will (b) publish "masked" details — i.e. details that point to anonymous names and addresses at the registrar.
