Hello Gustavomanoel,
I will answer your questions below.
Question 1 - 'If I shutdown my instance, will the Public address change?'
Answer: Yes. We release your instance's public IP address when it is stopped or terminated. Your stopped instance receives a new public IP address when it is restarted. [1]
Question 2 - 'If I detach the ENI of my instance, will the public address be released?'
Answer: Is this the default primary network interface (eth0) of your instance? If yes, then please note that you cannot detach a primary network interface from an instance. [2].
I hope that you find this information helpful. Please let us know if you need any further help.

As expected...
Yes, it is the primary network interface.
