Does Optimize always shrink the file?

Not always. Linearization changes structure. If you need a smaller attachment, Compress.

Do I need Optimize for email?

Usually no. Email clients download the whole attachment. Compress is the email tool.

Yes. Compress first for size, then Optimize if the file will be opened in a browser.
