It's easier on the german boats with the controls on the attack map, but for US subs: Set target speed to zero, periscope to 000, and then transmit range once (can be any range, you don't even have to have a ship in the crosshairs).
Sending range always also transmits bearing to target, which becomes 000, speed to zero means that no gyro angle is set, and AoB doesn't matter either at 0 knots.
Now your tubes are set to fire straight ahead the direction your bow is pointing - same for the aft tubes, but with periscope at 180.
On the german boats, all these controls are on the attack map and do not require the periscope to be pointed.
As for your depth problem, most ships I see on german campaign are merchants with well below 3 meters keels. Your sub-chaser is a bad example for practice I think, historically setting the torp to run at zero depth worked for US Commanders (at the risk of the torp breaking trough the waves).
