Yes, the Phoenicians developed sea power for trade and to protect that trade. When the Phoenicians were incorporated into the Persian Empire, their ships made up a large part of the Persian fleet, along with the Greeks and the Egyptians.

What ideas did the Greeks adopt from the Phoenicians?

None. It was thought that the Greeks adopted the alphabet and the color named 'tyrian purple'. The reverse is actually the case as the Phoenicians did not have an alphabet they had a cuneiform script lacking any vowels. The Greek proper alphabet of linear A and linear B both predate phoenician cuneiform script. The archaeological findings in Crete at Komos has unearthed murex shells (used to make 'Tyrian purple', which show that the Minoans cultivated the sea-snail in factory farms for the production of the purple dye at least 300 years before it appeared in Tyre. The Phoenicians did however become strong traders using the ships and celestial navigation adopted from the Greeks.

How did the Phoenicians spread their alphabet?

The ancient mercantile civilization of Phoenicia helped to spread civilization in ancient times primarily through its daring, far-ranging seafaring voyages. Motivated by trading interests above all, yet perhaps also spurred on by the desire to explore for its own sake, Phoenician traders were for many generations the "go-betweens" of older civilizations in the east and newer, rougher societies elsewhere in the Mediterranean and beyond. They carried trade goods, yet at the same time they carried technologies, ideas, and values from one point to another.
