Yes. Normaly engines of cargo ships are much louder than engines of subs (even at flank). But i´m not sure, if this is coded in SH3.

Yes. Deep and slow is better.

Hiding under a cover ship makes sense, if you know the draft of the other ships around you, so you can launch your torps submerged. But that needs a lot of paperwork by hand for plotting courses and postions.
