1) Departure from harbour in a mirror calm sea. Whilst out patrolling grid weather worsens to a malestrom, which continues for rest of patrol, except sea state eases around ireland

It happens. Supposedly the weather generator is random and is based off of the last save or load game time. Some kind of random timer is reset at that event and that dictates the weather.
I've had entire patrols be storm.

2) I kept getting the same messages each time I re-loaded my game after continuing a session on a different night - some messages we coming in at some points within 2-3 mins of each other - not good!

Don't know what this is. What kind of messages?

3) In relation to the storms, My UZO and periscope would lock onto a contact for a few seconds then release..even despite the fact that I had entered calmer seas at one point

The "lock" feature only allows you to lock onto things that the game things you can actually see. If it thinks you can't see if (whether you can or not), it will unlock after a couple of seconds.
You will find that you can actually "lock" ships that are 8km or more away (I've locked them up to 16km away) - probably whatever the render limit of the game is. They will only lock for a second (long enough to go to the map and see them and plot their course though), and then unlock.
You can actually use this as a cheat to identify entire convoys at extreme long ranges by panning the scope back and forth and repeatedly pressing the L key until you lock everything in the convoy. Then go to the map and you can see them all there for a minute until the contacts fade away.
Of course, that's a pretty serious cheat.
