Ok, so I start the mission, I am told to follow the buoys... and I find this white spot on the radar. I fly to it, it is pretty close. It turns out that I can fly through it too :/ I target it, shoot it, but it is like a hologram. It shouldn't be that way, right? What can I do? I've already had a bug during my previous try at the game, somewhere in the middle of it and I had to uninstall (it was some F2Open bug probably - now I am playing without it). Don't tell me I have to do it again :(
It shouldn't matter. You just have to follow the trail they mark out, not play football with them, so just ignore it, and move on.

Ah, it seems I didn't write it anyway. Well, the problem is that I can't move on! The only marked spot is this very first buoy or w.e it is. It doesn't switch to any other mark, regardless of anything I do. Of course, this is a special mission and I can skip it, but I just don't want to leave the poor captain back there ;) This is the guy who helped me during the previous special cover mission operation, right? The one we did not know what happened to?
The next buoy is just outside your sensor range. Just fly past the first, and the second one should soon show up as a fuzzy grey dot.

Unfortunately, it doesn't show any other, just the first one. I think there was some error during installation, because the buoy appears as if textureless, almost transparent.
With Freespace open, I stopped at some mission only because one of the ship models would not load. I suspect there as be something very wrong with the installer :(

It should and it is. There's nothing wrong, if you can fly through a buoy.

When you start the mission, there's the starting buoy.
1. Fly past that, and a new blinking dot will appear on THE RADAR. Fly towards it directly, and once you reach it, fly past it. Directly. Don't try to pull any epic Heimlich maneuvers or something. Directly. Another blinking dot will appear on the radar. Repeat the steps, until you reach Snipes and his friends. Then do what you're told to do.

I suspect you've failed at some point during installation. I'd advise you to visit Hard Light Productions, and particularly the FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support forum they have there. There are many, many, many more people there who can help you compared to these GOG forums. (Nothing personal, GOG people).
