My first year, I was up 2-3 times a night, and when I mentioned this to my surgeon at the time of my annual check up, he said “take an Imodium before bed.” So I started doing that and got it down to once a night. I’m still up and going once a night, but it’s needing to pee that wakes me up...and it’s just easier to go ahead and evacuate while I’m at it 😉
As for your second question, I soiled myself in the middle of the night 2-3 times in the past 2 1/2 years, but not full on shit myself. When it happened, it was typically the result of being extra reckless with eating/drinking whatever I want, subsequently having a lot of gas churning around while I’m asleep, and my body letting it pass...with me discovering in the morning it wasn’t all gas LOL
Are you taking any fiber supplements like Metamucil? My surgeon recommended I take it with every meal because it slows down the digestive tract, and it really does work. I hate the powder and take the capsules, and because I’m cheap I get a generic from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DSHSDbWE5W5ZT. My surgeon wants me to take it 3x a day (once before every meal) but I’m lazy and typically only do it when eating some I know will mess me up, like salad! It does a good job of firming things up from watery diarrhea to an oatmeal consistency, which means less trips to the bathrooms do leas chance of any gas being accompanied by leakage. Hope that helps!
Tips for the butt burn battle: the diaper creme you should be using is Calmoseptine. Make sure you always have flushable wet wipes with you wherever you are. Get a bidet sprayer for the toilet you use the most, and do your best to stay clean.
Your frequency will reduce as your jpouch gets used to holding waste and stretches a bit. Take Imodium (or less expensive store brand loperamide) as needed - at mealtime and before bed, for example - to slow things down, and pay attention to what you're eating. You may want to drop back to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast), then introduce other foods to see what works for you.
A little blood is probably OK but if it persists go see your surgeon. Be patient, things will settle down with time.

But I wish my doc would have replied to my questions regarding: if this is an oppropriate dosage or not..
I swear, sometimes I get so frustrated with the lack of communication with my GI doc.
