Same here.I prefer shooting the bombers first since they may inflict more damage. About your question, I think the airplanes return back to their Airfield for the reasons below :

1. No more ammo left (mostly bombers)
2. Lack of Fuel
3. Thinking you will not surface, and they have lost the target.

Yes, your watchman will automatically report them, when he is on bridge. During career pay attention to not go faster than TC=128, else it may be too late to react after your watch crew spots an airplane. TC will be set to 8 after your crew spots a ship or airplane. You may change TC settings (for example TC=1 when ship or airplane spotted) with SH3 Commander.
