Feature. Historically, submarines had difficulty maintaining neutral buoyancy unless they were under speed. If you are standing still it is realistic to begin sinking very very slowly.

If you are barely moving, then control surfaces don't do much!
Edit: For 13, although I have not played GWX yet, I gather that circle markers are indicative of submarine contacts. You probably encountered a wolfpack!
For 6, kind of a bug. The navigator was the officer that originally gave weather. Of course, it's difficult to gauge wind speed and such when you're underwater. So GWX placed the weather report icon under the watch officer, as he cannot be deployed while submerged. However the hardcoded so that the report still comes from the navigator.
