No. The water doesn't travel. The shape does. Anything underwater in the open sea would barely notice.

Thats a good question. However, in the open ocean you have the full thickness of the ocean to transmit the wave, therefore it wouldn't be noticed to any great degree. It is only when it encounters shallow water does it rise up.

The worst place to be during a tsunami is near the shore, either on land or in shallow water. Out at sea all you would see is a swelling wave that passed beneath you.
