Changelist submits are atomic, so if one file fails, they all
fail.  If you break your changes up into smaller chunks this obviously
isn't a problem.  If you want the submit to be atomic but you want
to break up the upload, shelving is a good solution -- you can update a shelved
change incrementally and then submit it directly from the server (submit -e)
without needing to re-transfer the files.

The filename issue would be easier to debug if we could see the error message,
but I'm going to guess that there's some Unicode configuration problem
-- maybe the auto-detected character set for your computer isn't
correct?  You should be able to set this manually if you can figure
out what the right value is.

You might be able to get this in P4V's log pane.  If you use the
"p4 sync" command from the command line it'll print exactly what
files were updated to stdout.  If you're trying to figure it out
after the fact (i.e. answer the question "what changed recently"?)
looking at recent submitted changelists is usually a good place to start -- you
can filter this down to only show the ones that affect your workspace.
