The merchants are contained in their own book - not under nationalities.
The nationalities contain only warships.
I think the merchant book is at the begining of the alphabetical nationalities

Great,

From the rec manual, the handelschiffe (spelt wrong i know) is at the end of the list and not specific to any country.

As for your speed issue, to calculate the speed you first need the mast height from the rec manual, find the ship amongst the merchants and tick the box in the bottim right corner of the manual page to id the ship, only then can you work out speeds etc.

A range measurement is required for speed measurement. Or else there is no way for the notepad to determine how much the target moved during that time. Theoreticaly you could make do with a bad AOB setting, but only if you adhere to the speed that is calculated by the notepad, no matter how weird it is. If you decide you know better what his speed is and make a correction to it, the torpedo is more likely to miss.
