The times of high and low tides vary during the day, depending on the relative positions of the earth, moon, and sun. High tide can occur at any time of day or night.

The Mediterranean hardly has any tide at all actually.
Where the entrance to The Med is, by Gibraltar, the channel is really narrow. So there can't be large movements of water through there. There is a small tide, the water flows from East Mediterranean to West and back again, and repeat......

No.
High tide comes when your spot on the Earth is directly under the Moon, or the opposite side to the Moon.

yes, it is always at the middle of the night. The reason is that at night, the heat from the day melted icebergs which raises the water level. At night, it cools and everything freezes so that during the day, the tides are down again.
