1) So my first question is... 'wtf'. (does that possibly mean "patrol anywhere in the BF1x grids"?)

I believe this is exactly correct. A look at the KM gridded chart shows that the letter "squares" (which are not square at all) like BF are subdivided into (usually nine) medium sized squares each (generally) containing nine smaller squares carrying a two-digit designation, BF-11.
Since "10" is never used to designate the latter squares, it is logical that BF-10 represents the medium sized square consisting of BF-11 through BF-19.
Have no documentery evidence to support this but nothing else makes sense.
As for your other questions GWX removes the renown for reaching your patrol area and remaining on station awarded on stock. Therefore whether you patrol as ordered or go wherever is a matter of personnel choice. I go where I am sent but sometimes use SH3 Commander to pick the patrol square.
Don't quite understand what you're looking for in Question #3 unless you only wish to play out a series of single missions. At the end of a patrol there is improvements to buy (with the accrued renown), promotions to hand out and crew medals to award. Or if you sink a hospital ship you could find yourself shot...
