It is there, but may not be visible at first glance because key ID
0xA18A54D6 is actually a subkey for 0xE3B5806F.

The settings for the GUI will only affect the GUI and not GPG itself.

To change the default keyserver for GPG on the command line you will
need to edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf to comment out whatever is currently
listed and add:

keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net

It's there, see above.

The ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf contains all the options for the command line.
Evolution specific things I can't help with, I've never used it.
