Re: How does Electrum decide from which of my addresses the BTCs are sent?

"Freeze"-->Freeze Coin

does that mean that (for the next transaction) this BTC address should be taken or the opposite?
-snip-
I guess "Freeze" means "Don't touch".
All the UTXO (coins) associated with that address wont be used in any of your new transactions.

The freeze setting is permanent until you unfreeze it
But will only work client-side, means that if you have other instance of your wallet, your freeze selections wont apply there automatically.

Whats the difference between

"Freeze"-->Freeze Coin
and
"Freeze"-->Address

?
Shouldn't it be the same?
"Freeze Coin" only freezes certain UTXO. Useful in case you're reusing address and don't want Electrum's default coin-selection that uses all of the UTXOs of the same address.
"Freeze Address" freezes all of the UTXO that's associated with that address.

So if I want the opposite and force an address to be used I have to select "Add to Coin control". Correct?
Correct.
It will apply as long as "Coin control active" message is displayed.
