I've been told to patrol a sector so do I have to stay in that sector or can I engage contacts outside of it?

You don't have to go there at all. In the game you earn renown, which you then spend on upgrades and better crew. You get some renown for going to your patrol grid, and some more for staying there the prescribed 24 hours. Some people figure that they can get more for going where the tonnage is than by going to the grid. Me, I follow real procedure and stay there for the entire patrol, which means I sometimes have very low scores, even the occasional zero.

Do I have carte blanche to attack any ship or what?

Yes. You get renown for sinking enemy ships, you lose it for sinking neutrals, and you lose a LOT for sinking friendlies; but the choice is yours.

Where do the contacts come from? they can't be my sightings because they are too far away, yet I have no record of receiving a radio message? is this Third Reich clairvoyance?

Yes. Actually it's presumed that you're getting reports from other u-boats or recon planes, but the game actually just throws them out there. There are mods that reduce the number of contacts, and that change how they are reported, but that's probably further down the line for you.
