Answer 1

By definition, an Email template, including VF email templates do not define the recipients.

Recipients are defined either in:

• An Email Alert (Flow, process Builder, Workflow Rule)
• Apex method calls on SingleEmailMessage
• The send email action/buttons in the UI

This is an example of a separation of concerns pattern - the template defines the content, and other layers define the when and where of the email action.
