Open Commander and click the little '?' at the bottom left. That will open the User Guide, which will explain all the cool things Commander does.

I think you need to read the forums more. I just the other day published the latest version of my Ship Names mod, which so far adds more than 12,000 new names to Commander's file.

I am using grey wolves mod currently, and sh3 commander. I look at patrol log in sh3 commander but it seems same as the in game log
Commander generates a patrol log after the patrol is finished. Then you will be able to transfer the Commander log to SH3 and look at it in that format.

Or is it possible I will see more revenge class battleships than actually existed? (If for example someone theoretically sunk all the revenge class battleships made by the british, would they no longer be present in convoys and such) Or will it even be less likely to see them, seeing as there are less in the world?
They say SH5 fixes that, but not in SH3. Just a little while ago there was a thread by a guy who said he sank the Hood 5 times!

On the other hand there was also recently a thread by somebody who says he created a new campaign that fixes that problem.

I dont remember the name of the u boat or the torpedos, but they are the ones that require a direct hit on the ship. (I'm afraid of using the magnetic torpedos from all the apparent problems with them. And when I used one , it exploded prematurely. Don't know if I should be so afraid or not though)
Contact pistols and influence (or magnetic) pistols. In real life they didn't have that choice. They didn't even know why their torpedoes weren't working properly. They didn't have a switch that turned them on and off. They just had to live with it.

I usually go very close to a ship that I want to sink. close enough that they are either in the circle or near the circle that shows on the map when you are all the way zoomed in. I just want to know how far people typically fire their torpedos from their target.
I don't use the map too much, but I always fire from between 500 and 1,000 meters.
