Shar:
They may have had someone cyber savvy look him up on the net and they found that address.
If I am trying to touch base with a military buddy I have not seen in years, I just plug in their first name.last name@us.army.mil as a blind transmission. Unless it is a common name, I have normally had better than a 50-50 chance of reaching them. It is highly likely that others know this.
I doubt that they were monitoring your traffic and would not assume any skullduggery in that area until it has been proven.
At the same time, the billing behavior of your ISP strikes me as reprehensible.
I would get the contract and go see your local JAG office to see if you have any recourse through military channels.
If not, I would complain to every consumer organization and BBB I could find.
Best of luck.
