A lot of emails have small images that, when loaded, tell the provider that I have read the email. Does Tracking Protection disable these from loading?

Best is always to block all external images (i.e. images that are not embedded) in your email account settings. It is up to you to decide what images you want to see and there is no guarantee that images come from a source that is blocked by Tracking Protection.
