Newbie questions: where to search and how to avoid active sonnar

Hello all. I have been playing around here for some time but this is the first time I post.

I'm starting to learn DW. It's great and very challenging. I have two questions.

1. Mission: SOSUS Handover.
I have read the manual and the great P3 Operation manual by Oneshot. I know understand different buoys and techniques to find a sub. However in this mission I find it difficult to find the subs without cheating (show truth). I managed to find and sink one sub, however when I get to the other cable area, I dont know where to search. It's several hours after the beginning of the mission and I dont know exact point of detection, course and speed of the sub. I try to search it using MAD/SAD without success. How can you figure out where is the sub?

2. Mission: Tokyo harbor cruise
This is a fast question: How can I avoid being detected by the enemy surface vessel? I know I can go very slowly to avoid being detected by his passive sonar, but I have no idea of what I can do where I hear their pings. I try to go as deep as I can and to present a low profile bearing to the source of the ping. however the only thing I do is approaching the enemy. Is there any thing I can do or if I get pinged Im dead?

Thanks for your help!
