Collisions between enemy vessels are fairly rare, and rsrd has nothing to do with that, it's just the AI.
Those circles where almost surely evasive action because you got spotted. If you ever manage to find a convoy in rsrd, I can guarantee that they will do the same thing, as it's just the way the AI works.
The convoy composition, while slightly odd, isn't impossible. Suppose that they where going to bombard the hell out of something and those merchants where hauling extra fuel and ammo. I can really think of maybe a dozen reasons why a few merchant ships might tag along with a task force.
