That's weird, because it should be as you want by default. Without 
seeing the actual document it is quite difficult to guess what's wrong. 
Check if the styles selected on Tools → Outline numbering are the same 
on Master and subdocuments.

That's not easy, sorry. It seems Writer belong to the school of thinking 
that says "zero is not a natural number" so even if there is no numbered 
heading before, a subheading will start with "1.1" instead of 0.1.

If you really want a leading zero, I think your only chance is to fake 
the numbering. Remember that you can set an "outline level" to any 
paragraph style on the "Outline and numbering" tab of the style 
definition, so you can "clone" the first and second level paragraph 
styles used on the rest of the document, set those clones to get outline 
level 1 and 2 and then fake the numbering either by writing them by hand 
or by using a sequence field.

You'll need to later fix the TOC, though
