No NTFS is the only file system capable of encryption
Fat16 and Fat32
Yes, but you have to get the OSR2 release, which came out in 1997. It includes FAT32 support, USB support, etc.
All versions of Windows 98 support FAT32.
Encryption is available in the NTFS file system because it supports advanced security features, including file permissions and access control, which are essential for managing encrypted data. NTFS is designed for use in environments requiring high security and data integrity, while FAT32 is a simpler file system that lacks these advanced features. Consequently, FAT32 does not provide the necessary infrastructure to implement encryption effectively.

Windows Vista does not officially support booting from a FAT32 drive, although it is technically possible. Vista supports FAT32 on Flash drives and hard drives, although it will not format a hard drive over 32 GB as FAT32.
FAT32 does not support compression of filesor folders
No, it does not.
The NTFS file system proves to be secure than FAT32 since it can alert users about security issues on identifying them. At the same time, it provides encryption options and other permission settings.
Windows 98 supports both the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. The FAT32 file system will support drives up to 2 terabytes in size, while the FAT16 file system will support drives up to 2 gigabytes in size.

You can encrypt the files/folders with password if the drive doesn't support encryption. Since drives with encryption feature are costly, you can use software to encrypt the files on drives. For example, TrueCrypt, 7 zip, Kakasoft Folder Protector are all good encryption software.
