I've never been fired on by one of my own ships unless I had fired on a friendly myself. That's the stock in-game response to keep us from attacking friendlies and neutrals: 24 hours of hell. Unless that happened I don't know what to tell you. That's not normal behavior.

2) Is there any way to lighten up underwater? I can barely see anything. May be realistic, but not that fun :/

The easiest way is to get SH3 Commander. It does a great many things to make your experience much more enjoyable, including giving you one-click control over several in-game parameters. One of these is water density.
