Regarding the weapons–the torpedoes are guided, so yes, they will turn and follow a target. They basically have the same drive the ships use on a much smaller scale, so tiny little fusion drives. They can flip and burn just like a ship. So there’s strategy with using them. If it’s coming on the opposite vector of a ship, they’re harder to take out with PDCs, but easier to dodge, Coming on the same vector, PDCs will have more time to target them, but they’re harder to dodge. But the torps are pretty maneuverable, overall. and don’t have to worry about pulling too many Gs, so they WILL catch up to a ship, eventually. PDCs and railguns are unguided. PDCs we’ve seen quite a bit–they’re mostly for taking out incoming torps, but are also effective at close range against smaller targets. Railguns will mess you UP–their projectiles are pretty much impossible to dodge at close range.
As far as firing hand guns and other small arms, I don’t think the show mentions it, but they have recoilless rounds that are used in zero-g. The rounds are self-propelled. So, no as high velocity, but they won’t knock you across the room when you fire, so there’s that advantage.

“What if I just walked in the room, watched you pee, and walked out when you were done?” -my new favorite random question!
