Why didn't the settlers in New Netherlands want to fight the English?
Because the Netherlands were very wealthy, there was not a lot of incentive for Dutch settlers to come to the New World. As a result, the inhabitants of the colony tended to be English.

There simply weren't enough Dutch citizens who were willing to fight to defend the colony, so it was taken without any bloodshed.
Why did the British feel justified to impress American sailors?
The fundamental issue is that Britain did not recognize the American citizenship of former British subjects. The British argued that once a person is a British subject (usually by birth in Britain), that person remains a British subject in perpetuity and cannot shed that citizenship by becoming a naturalized American citizen. As a result, the British navy felt that any former Briton on an American ship was dodging his duty to participate in the defense of his country (the UK) against Napoleonic France. As is the case with any draft dodger, they should be brought and forced to serve. Of course, the US government objected since it considered these individuals to be US citizens and not UK citizens.
