Your second statement is correct.
Your Third statement is not always correct. Depending on where my ship is located a convoy heading ESE may be
North of me
South of me
East of me
....
The course or heading of the convoy is independent of the bearing of the convoy's location relative to my ship.
Probably a nit to pick but some readers here still ask questions about heading and bearings Don't want any one to get confused.
