#1 garrison status units can't combine. That is correct. These are crappy organized barely holding together incomplete units only good for defensive actions.
#2 If the sub and it's 6 hexes around it are not all ocean. Escorts attack subs. You can have up to 10 in a convoy lane.
#3 sure. Sit within 5 hexes of one of their ports. Planes 10 hexes. A bomber in Malta will interdict supplies.
#4 Yes, the one that says "Convoy Escort".
You want to invest heavy in convoy escort and at least buy 1 a turn till you have 40 or so. The maximum escorts effectiveness in a lane is 10 escorts. you want to fill the lanes. A good German player will fill their shipyards with subs, strategically place them in different zones to spread out your escorts. Use oilers to resupply subs.
I have 11 in one of my games until mid 1943. The Allied player didn't invest in technology or escorts enough and I crippled his convoys badly.
Remember as the Allies you are playing the long game. You dump as much as you can into Russia vs an invasion. They need it. Your ship yards should be constantly filled when Germany is finally at war with Russia. merchants, transports, escorts, landing craft. You will need a lot.
