It will probaly get worse than without enclosure at all.

Yes. Just the way I see it.

Not sure about that. A single ceramic capacitor can be enough
to "ground" the chassis for HF. Not perfect, but in practice will
turn the antenna (making interference worse than no enclosure)
into a shield (improove interference).
