The in-game help is adequate on this one (I think).
heal - heals 1 wound (so multiple shots are necessary for multiple wounds)
painkiller - increases morale some, but *only* if the aquanaut was wounded
(one shot)

Don't know, but B-D are sure a buttpain to fight. OTOH, blasting them can
kill their alien buddies in vicinity.
