Yep. If you click on them and you look at the info at the bottom left, you'll see their health should have dropped to below 100. If someone has turned red, then his health is at 0 and the poor little guy is dead.

And if so, is there anything I can do about it? In SH3 you moved wounded men to their quarters and put a medic in with them if you had one. Here I have no clue what to do, if I can do anything, or if I even need to do anything.
If you have someone with the medic skill (a green cross) you can try moving him in the same compartment as all the injured guys but I'm not sure that helps. I think just having a medic on board at all will improve their health but I'm not sure about that one.

Second, Do I need to put the Damage Control team in the compartment or just activate them from where they are?
No need, just activate them from wherever.

Next, is there any way to ask how long repairs are expected to take? I tried clicking on everything in sight, and all I saw was orange equipment until it was repaired.
Next to the damaged equipment there should be a red bar. If you hover your mouse on it, there will be a tooltip with a number like 0.56, that's the percentage of damage that the equipment has taken. It will go down as repairs are done. If it's at 1.00 that means it's destroyed and can't be fixed. Although I've sometimes seen stuff that was only .60 or .40 percent damaged not get fixed no matter what I did or how long I waited. I guess some stuff can't be fixed at sea at all, which makes sense.
