So how do you set torpedoes to active or passive homing on the seawolf?

The setting is on the torpedo preset screen. It may be necessary to disable autocrew to make the change. Also, the autocrew likes to use passive homing for some reason.

And also, how can you tell when a torpedo fired at you is using passive homing? Is it just if you cannot hear the constant pinging noise, then you can assume it's using passive seeking?

You shouldn't hear the ping even if it is active. Unless the torpedo is coming at you, you won't know unless you fired the torpedo and set the homing type. I will double check this and get back to you on it.

P.S As for silent running, do you just have to change speed to 3 or 4 knots or is there some special function to activate it?

There is not separate "silent running" function, but if you are at slow speed or manually adjusted below that threshold, you are considered silent.
