I would also agree with the 90° shot to the rear. Just plot the intercept course as usual and hit full stop 100 meters after the intercept point. You should drift about 150-200 meters from the spot and be in perfect shooting range. (The drift distance is from going full speed ahead and then hitting stop, would imagine that forward speed determines how far you really drift.

"90 degree shot" means the torpedo turns 90 degrees. You and the merchant will be side by side. Opposite courses uses the stern tube(s). Same course uses the bow tubes.
Being perpendicular to the target's course is simply a "bow on shot" or "stern on Shot".
(I like your degree symbol. I don't have one on my keyboard.)
