Britain received a good proportion of its food, war materiel and raw materials (and virtually all its oil) by sea, so cutting off those supplies by sinking ships, or stopping them from sailing through the fear of owners and crew that they wouldn't make it, would have left Britain in dire straits and unable to prosecute the war, which was the Nazis' intention in the U-Boat campaign.
These are two questions with different answers. Britain won the Battle of Britain because it was fought in the skies over England. Britain used radar and spotters to mass its fighters for local superiority when the radar gave them the early warning. From the location and speed of the incoming planes they deduced the probable target and scrambled the fighters to intercept them. The German planes were near the end of their flight radius when the sorties were engaged, and could not spend as much airtime in dogfights as the nearly fully fueled Brits. If an RAF plane was shot down, the pilot could be rescued and put in another plan for the next encounter. If a Nazi pilot were shot down, he became a POW.
The Battle of the Atlantic was won because of the institution of the escorted convoy system to minimize the U-Boat attacks, the use of sonar to detect the U-Boats, the use of warships disguised as cargo ships to lure the U-Boats into attacking what the believed to be unarmed ships (Q-Ships), and air cover to spot and destroy U-Boats before they became a threat to the convoys.
In both cases, British cryptographers cracked the Nazi codes so the could stay one step ahead of them.
Several new technologies helped win the war in the Atlantic. The first was sonar which assisted in locating submarines. The other was the development of an accurate torpedo.
