I will include the relevant lines from my .emacs file to do this.  In
my case, emacs doesn't normally wrap lines of text unless in text-mode
so I added a condition so text-mode is invoked when composing from
mutt.
(push '("mutt-.*" . text-mode) auto-mode-alist)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode)

Thomas Stivers gave some excellent answers to your remaining
questions.  I will say that configuring mutt may seem unwieldy at the
beginning, but once set in place, cherrish that .muttrc file and you
will be running one of the finest mail clients out there.
