As a general rule, go as deep as you can and stay silent.
If you are in immediate danger of being hit by deptcharge, run at flank speed and change course, but return to silent running afterwards.
You can manually set your speed to 0kt. You'll still be moving slowly, but your engines will run at lowest possible RPM, to minimize the chance of detection.
Turning your smallest silhouette also helps.
A destroyer can't detect you when you are behind him (45 degrees to each side of its stern), so use that moments to get further away.

It does. You get negative renown, the value of which depends of a ship.
