I believe the reason the captain never tried to help himself is because of the saying 'a good captain always goes down with his ship'. Another reason could be that he was the one who steered them into the iceberg so maybe he is just taking the blame.
The Captain was Edward John Smith but he did not help build Titanic, he only sailed her.
They did their job by rehousing the speed of the titanic.
Yes, Titanic called for help. The first distress signal was sent out after midnight at 12:27.

the people on the titanic had to wait until another ship passed.
Only one ship helped the survivors of the sinking of Titanic and she was Carpathia.
thesis on titanic
I think they realized it when the water was flooding into the Titanic. And the fact that it was a huge hole in RMS Titanic. Someone maybe realized it when the ship hit the iceberg too. And probably everyone knew it when the ship broke in half.
no a near by ship turned off their radio for the night when the titanic was calling for help
That the california was on its way to help.
