Multibit security -— How anonymous is it?

Hi and I hope someone here can answer these security questions for me.

I have downloaded the Multibit client onto both a windows laptop and also a separate download onto a laptop running ubuntu linux.

My questions are for both operating systems and they are:

When I am online and start the Multibit client is my IP address broadcast at anytime when I am using it such as when it syncs with the BTC network?
If I create say 10 wallets in the client and issue one receiving address from each wallet to ten different people so they can pay me, is it possible to see that all those addresses and wallets reside within the same Multibit client?
Can those addresses or wallets be traced back to either of my laptops and if so how can I stop this from happening?

Cheers in advance.
