If circle, it will circle right, if snake it will turn right first. My answer assumed a circle setting. (Snake is good for engaging player-controlled subs outside of MANPADS range).

-As for question 6, I had a feeling, just hoped things could be easier. Then I guess only subs and the FFG which have TMA can create moving contacts then (appart from using the radar and visual contact that is) and merge them (instead of having 3 different entries for the same contact, coming from the sonar, radar and ESM which I then have to remove all the time).
How would you do it? I have tried creating regularly spaced manual solutions along the course I managed to determine, and just before firing, I would cross the bearing line with a final hydro reading, and select the closest solution. It seems to work, but fills up the map pretty quickly and is somewhat tedious. Does it even matter where I shoot with an MK-50 toperdo, or is it "smart" enough to home in on the sub once it closes in and make sharp turn for it?

When you get a solid fix on the target, mark that point on the nav map ('Enter'), double click it, and fill in the text with the time of the contact. Do that enough times and you'll have a pretty good track and when you attack the target based on the last fix, you'll have a good idea how far he's moved in the time it takes you to fly there and drop.

I also forgot to ask, is there a ruler somewhere (for drawing paths), the only usable tool I have found was the circle tool, and it isn't very convenient to use ?

I don't think there is a line tool, just the range circle. I draw lines using marked points sometimes.
