Your ISP knows every destination IP address you visit unless you take concerted steps to obscure them. From these addresses it's trivial to perform a reverse DNS lookup, but you're probably using your provider's DNS servers already anyway unless you set them manually or configured your own DHCP server.

Tor protects you if you use it correctly, probably. Nobody really knows how many of those hops are owned by intelligence agencies. VPN service helps... although if you do something bad enough and push comes to shove, is your VPN company going to tell the US government "no?" Depends on the company and jurisdiction, I guess.

Best just to avoid doing anything that could generate a subpoena. Your ISP certainly isn't going to fight for your privacy if they're served with one.
