Answer1: Stay on the surface as much as possible - this will be easy early on, increasingly hard as time goes on and all the aircraft/hunter-killer groups/etc make your life miserable! Two reasons:

1. You travel faster on diesels by a large margin
2. Battery life is limited - save it for maneuvering on attack runs or to get out of REALLY bad weather.

Answer2: If you are using stock fatigue, then you have to watch the green bar above each compartment. Only man those sections you need NOW - lookouts/diesel room on surface, electric room underwater, Command room at all times. Leave everyone not needed in the bow/stern quarters - and rotate out as needed to keep those green bars at AT LEAST 50% - or that compartment quits working.
