when symmetrically encrypting a file, e.g.:

the command above generates a "gpg" extension encrypted AND compressed

Unless you've disabled compression in your gpg.conf file, yes, it is
both encrypted and compressed.
How do I know which compression algorithm was used?
Unless you've overridden the default, it is ZIP.
How can I force any other available algorithm?

And (algo) can be "uncompressed", "zip", "zlib", or "bzip2". Note
that bzip2 is only available if your GPG was built with the bzip2
library.
