Did the US fire on any of japans ships prior to Pearl Harbor?
The only incident I am aware of occurred outside the entrance to Pearl Harbor shortly before the air attack. AN IJN submarine was fired upon and sunk by an American destroyer, the USS Ward. The submarine, however, was a midget submarine with a small displacement and a small crew, and it would technically qualify as a craft instead of a ship.

Us warning signs at peal harbor?
The one major warning sign at Pearl Harbor happened at approximately 6:30 that morning. As a ship entered the harbor a sailor on another ship thought he say a periscope trailing behind the ship. They were able to contact a nearby ship - the Ward - who confirmed seeing signs or a sub as well. They fired on the submarine sinking it. When the message was sent it was sent encoded that they had 'fired upon' an enemy ship. The telegram did not state straight out that there was a successful attack on another ship. If it had, if it had not been encrypted - those in harbor may have had a chance to prepare for the attack.

What was the first Japanese submarine spotted during the attack on Pearl Harbor?
Hard to say. About half the Japanese submarines participated in some way or another in the attack, though the majority were involved in screening the Japanese fleet. There were a number of mini-submarines that were to penetrate the harbor and fire two torpedoes. All of them were sunk or went aground: It was probabl I-22 or I-18 that where found and sunk first. I-16 was never found may have fired at the St. Louis though there is some belief that it actually got into the harbor and torpedoed the WV and OK. I-22 the USS Monashan (DD-354) sank it inside the harbor I-18 the USS Ward (DD-139) sank it outside I-20 experienced a mechanical failure outside of the harbor I-24 was captured after it ran aground outside of the harbor Since the attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise air attack and everyone on the ground was racing around to fight back it's highly doubtful one would know what submarine was the first to attack considering it would have probably been quite a ways off shore and submerged.
