I have a few questions. How do I access my personal inventory, or do I have to be aboard the pod to do so? How do I remove unwanted items from the inventory? Can I move the pod to a new position after clearing an area? Apparently coral and salt create potable water, salt I can find but where do I get coral? Do the bladderfish respawn and if so how long does it take?

Welcome to the world of Subnautica. I'll try to answer your questions.
1) To access personal inventory press the TAB key - you can do this anywhere.
2) To remove items from inventory you can either drop them (I think it's right mouse click on the item), or open a locker, such as the one in the lifepod and click and drag items from your inventory to the locker.
3) I am not sure if you can move the pod, though I guess you could try pushing it.
4) Coral - tend to grow on rocky areas, and can be red, green or a sort of grey colour. There's loads of red ones in the safeshallows. You need a knife to cut them up.
5) I am not sure if fish respawn.
You can pick up the seed clusters to create the silicon.
Also go the floater island as soon as you make the scanner to get the good blueprints.
To clear things up thing do respawn and you can move the life pod with the repulsion cannon, but just build a base.
A relatively small number of items can also be dropped inside, Luggage; Coffee Machine; and any of the Lab Equipment items (though these get "placed" rather than "dropped")
The one exception to this is the "Equipment Locker" that you can fabricate, it can be dropped anywhere.
With the latest update, almost everything can be put in a Trash Can (no need to trash-up the environment anymore), the exception being the Spent Nuclear Rods, they can only be eliminated by putting them into the LAB Biohazard Trash Can.
Hopefully, sometime in the distant future, the Dev's will implement a process where we can breakdown fabricated items back to their basic elements.
Water depth and O2 / oxygen consumption. If you don't have a rebreather on (and you can't wear both the rad helmet and the rebreather at the same time) your O2 consumption is as follows:
0-99m (white): 1x
100-199m (yellow): 1.5x
200+m (red): 2x
Once you fix the radiation leakage from the Aurora, and the radiation dissipates, you can swap out the rad helmet for a rebreather to alleviate this.
Oh. And Stalkers (sharky alligator type fish in the creepvine forest) like shiny things. Your knife is shiny. And they can steal your knife, so if it disappears that's what happened.
Your knife can break, mouseover it in the inventory to find its durability % (you can just make 2 and have a spare).
You should read the scanner encyclopedia entries, there is useful information there even though some of it is fluff. For example:
As you can see, you should kind of pay attention to those entries, it will make your life a lot easier.
