I am sorry to spoil the atmosphere for you, but this is the crude reality...

Indeed it would be a nice feature. I ignore if it was in SHIII (hopefully yes), but Illyustrator is importing MQK quadrants into SH5. The next step would be converting (if passible) lat/long reports in MQK format

Yes, they are all static messages, triggered by date. They are found in the RadioMessages folder added by NewUIs, and you can easily open them with notepad.
You shouldn't take them literally, nonetheless like OHII they are mostly based on historical facts, and they can provide you with useful cues on where merchant traffic is to be found
In general there should be an easy way to recognize them in game: IIRC they should be displayed on a gray background, whereas relevant messages are shown on red or blue backgrounds. Take my colour indication with a pinch of salt though
