I must be a total "noob"

Right I have a few questions about the game, i've been playing it for the last week and I've just realised I know very little about it. The manual is useless. And "Submarine School" is also very limited. I think the Sonar and Radar tutorial was removed in 1.2, so I don't have a clue how to use them.

I suppose the very first question is, how do enemy ship detect me, and how do I avoid it. Obviously there is visually, i.e. if i'm surfaced or if they see my periscope. But what about when i'm submerged, I'd be trying to sneak away with "Silent Running" on, only going 1/3 ahead, sometime's i'd be detected and sometimes not.

Q2. What are the circles around contacts on the map indicating? Outer circle visual range, inner circle sonar range?

Q3. Managment of the crew. Each compartment has three rows of men, numbered 1-3 what does this mean?. I remember in SH3 there was a compartment where you could move men and they could rest there. How do your rest your men SH4. Sometime i'd be traveling along and all of a sudden my sub stops. I go to the crew managment screen and very one is asleep!.
