AFAIK ballast tanks can't be damaged, if you sink it's because of flooding.

Depends on what system is damaged. Some systems can be repaired when the damage is 1, others can't and are fully destroyed. Destroyed systems will only be repaired at base.

You need to stop the flooding by repairing the bulkheads. Dive planes only work if you have some speed. If you're sitting stationary on the bottom they're of no use.

Yes. But your bulkheads have to be repaired before flooding can be reduced. Also, the deeper you go the faster you flood, so if you have the choice surface.

Put the bulkheads 1st, if you fail to repair those in time you're dead. Minor systems can be repaired later, when flooding is dealt with.
I hope this helped you
