Problems at the Kiel canal

So, my first patrol out with the ?? flotilla (whoever is based in Kiel in '39...7th maybe?). My first patrol took me to AN18 or something like that, it covers the northern coast of France, including the harbors at Oostende and Calais. I considered it a fairly successful patrol, partially because I sank 3 ships (1 French, other two not sure) even though I didn't know we weren't at war yet. I ended up being shot at when I started back through Kiel Canal at Brusbuttel, and sunk in the canal.

I'm guessing I know the answers to these questions, but I will ask anyways:

1) At what point does the war actually begin, and how can I tell who we are at war with and who's neutral? Is there a list showing who is on either side at a given point in the game?

2) After I sunk one cargo ship, I ended up getting fired on by an armed trawler a time later. I'm guessing this is because of the initial sinking?

3) The whole being fired on in the Kiel canal...unknown nationality on that ship there, but would this probably be a result of the few ships I sunk?

Thanks!
