Yep, bow shots force more water into the ship, causing flooding.
I've only had a few ships explode completely, so forget hitting different compartments. GWX just doesn't do that. Under-keel shots are good for breaking the ship in two.
I'm fairly certain that the triangle is just the centre of the ship, without any special things in it.
