In the MultiBit 0.5.9 release candidate you can encrypt wallets in quite a similar manner to Bitcoin QT.
(You have to enter a password before you send bitcoin and the private keys are stored encrypted).

This is available for testers here: https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-0.5.9rc1
If the testing goes well it will go on general release next week.

You can read the help to find out more: https://multibit.org/v0.5/help_contents.html

Yes, Electrum uses the "master password" before you can send.

Multibit, I'm not sure of. I know it doesn't encrypt wallet files.
