You're close but not quite there.
I'm going to tackle them out of order...
First, there is no difference between E-1 and E-2 other than pay and E-2 has one stripe. In an absolute worst case scenario, the E-2 would outrank the E-1, but that's like being 10 minutes older than a twin sibling.
Next, promotion to E-2 is automatic after six months. E-3 follows at I believe 12 months, then E-4 at 24 months.
