Can the FBI not browse all my iCloud photos too?

I don't think a closed-source E2EE implementation would do much to change that.

E2EE is an option for iCloud Photos now, so no, not if it’s turned on.

Not sure what you mean about closed source. If you’re implying that the FBI can break Apple’s encryption because it’s closed source, uh, sure.

With a subpoena they can access anything unencrypted. If a user turns on advance data protection, they cannot.

Based on the Pen Letter laws. Anything stored with a third party can be subpoena by the government. The reasoning is if one wanted to keep it a secret they wouldn't be sharing with a third party.

If you use an ISP for email the ISP can be subpoenaed with you being aware. If you want run your own mail server from your house. A search warrant of your house for the mail server is required. Different notification standards.
