1. All email providers do the HTTPS thing. Have you noticed any problem with them? Almost every user who visits the bank's website will want to log in.
3. You might get some tiny fraction of additional security (through obscurity) by obfuscating people's logins, but this is ridiculous, unnecessary, and at great expense to the user experience when a decent password provides all the security you need.

I'm guessing that it's not even the majority -- many others will be looking for branch addresses, seeking info on loan or credit card terms, etc. Yes, email providers allow you to log in from their front page, but even then only from their gateway page. As a good example, www.yahoo.com does NOT have a login for their webmail client -- you have to click through to a separate screen. You only see the login if you go directly to mail.yahoo.com.
