1) You (non-EEA national) are the applicant.
The purpose of the family permit is to grant you easier entry into UK.

What it does

An EEA family permit makes it easier and quicker to enter the UK. You might not get a boarding pass and could experience major delays without one.

You may be refused entry into the UK if you don’t have an EEA family permit

Your spouse (EEA national) can simply use their passport to gain entry.
