Ill try to answer the OP's question.
No you cant pick up opponent survivors (though it would be nice).
To pick up friendly survivors goes something like this.
Look for a blue icon near the patrol area star on you map. Check the 'time' of that particular plot if its old try to find a newer one they 'poof' after some period of time. Haul butt to that general area. Scan the horizon for red smoke. Note that the red smoke will be close to but not AT the map marker it could be on any compass point and distance varies. Sail close to the red smoke, really close. Look through your binocs in the area of the red smoke till you either see the survivor, or the crosshairs in your binos turn red. Sometimes the actual survivor is obscured by the smoke but the crosshairs will turn red anyways. When they do turn red click the rescue icon. A few moments later the smoke should dissapear and the survivor has been rescued. Note that the binocs need to be 'trained' on the survivor, if the red cursor 'lock' is broken youll have click the rescue icon again.
Repeat untill you get mission accompliished.
Think this is tedious ? You should have tried it before the red smoke was introduced in 1.3
