pyrite
As far as I know, there's only one app out there that meets all of your criteria. All of your requirements (reproduced below) describe pyrite, though it can do more.
"text area where I could paste text then encrypt or decrypt"
"should be able to sign and check signatures"
"Produces ASCII" (pyrite can do both)
"Open source" (GPLv3)
"Runs on Linux" (...

There is a bunch of open source OpenPGP key server implementations.
The OpenPGP Public Key Server (PKS) based on a thesis of Mark Horrowitz is a rather old implementation, but still under active development.
SKS keyserver is probably the one running most key servers at this time. There are ready-to-use packages for eg. Ubuntu.
Hockeypuck is another very ...

Your scenario is a little sparse on details but I would like to suggest that you are probably barking up the wrong tree altogether.
If you are the only author and consumer of text data, it is unlikely that a web browser, hosting provider and text areas is the best way to manage that text data. There are in fact much better ways. Here are some possibilities:

There are two software stacks implementing OpenPGP with Outlook 2013 Plugins:
The Gnu Privacy Guard GnuPG, which is free software. Gpg4win bundles the software for Windows, and adds some GUI clients and an Outlook plugin:
Gpg4win runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Both 32 and 64bit systems are supported.
The Outlook plugin GpgOL is compatible with ...

I'm not aware of any readily-build software that is able to do this; it might be possible to program such an application using libraries like Bouncy Castle (Java, C#) or the OpenPGP package for Go.
But I can help you with a workaround: GnuPG allows to use a seperate "home directory", and thus also keyring. Doing something like
export GPGHOME=/tmp/gnupg
gpg ...

Difference between AES-256 and OpenPGP
First, I want to clarify that AES-256 and OpenPGP are not mutually exclusive. It's simpler to look at OpenPGP as wrapper for data encrypted with AES-256 symmetric cipher. OpenPGP format specification also tells how to store encryption parameters in the file including the cipher AES-256, Hash algorithm, salt, iterations ...

There exists our SecureBlackbox which implements complete OpenPGP functionality and is available for all major platforms. It's not free, though.

Take a look on gpg4o. It is also GnuPG based and IMHO the best OpenPGP Implementation for Outlook

pyrite (already cited) and gpg4usb (https://www.gnupg.org) have the requested features: direct copy/paste and processing of text (on a text-editor like window without the need to actually saving the plain and encrypted messages) + ASCII output + open source + runs on Linux + uses ~/.gnupg GPG key info (both let you choose which key to use).
Here is the ...

If the missing ASCII-armored output is your main objective regarding Seahorse, it can be configured to produce ASCII-armored output. The configuration option is not available in the GUI, so you need to change seahorse-settings in gconf.
There is a bunch of configuration options available, the setting of interest is
/schemas/desktop/pgp/ascii_armor
which ...
