They do nit breathe underwater. Gungans are more akin to frogs than to fishes or aquatic life, and since they maybe worship nature (or at least hold environmentalism very highly) I will presume that they chose to live underwater in order to allow more space for forest.
They probably gather to fight other gungans on land, historically speaking, or have land forces so they can meet invading armies long before they reach the city.
Uhm. Also the human Nabooans are colonists from coruscant, so the gungans might have been forced to live in underwater orbs the humans can’t reach.

Wait, is that actually canon? Lots of other sci-fi franchises have in universe explanations for why there are humans everywhere. In Stargate for instance they were slaves that were taken everywhere in the galaxy. But I didn’t know there was an actual in universe reason in Star Wars.
Only from external, extended universe sources (RPG sourcebooks, etc).
According to The Phantom Menace film, Padme says there was never hostilities between Humans and Gungans when speaking with Boss Nass. Boss Nass does not refute this statement.
This sentiment was also reflected on starwars.com at the time of the movies release.
The 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battleground was originally going to have levels about a war between the Humans and the Gungans, but the creative team was informed directly by LucasFilm that no such war ever took place. So the developers changed it to a Gungan civil war instead.
It was not until many years later that new sources began to popup that contradicted the original claim that Humans and Gungans were always peaceful (except for one RPG sourcebook in 2000).
Vague on whether humans were the first colonial power, strongly implied to be the dominant colonial power when measured against other empires like Duros.
So, unlike legends for first point, like legends for second point.
In Stargate for instance they were slaves that were taken everywhere in the galaxy.
I’m looking forward ro getting around to watching Stargate. If i understand the premise, star wars legends has a very similar story leading to the origins of hyperspace and space travel for humans.
Maybe it was lifted straight from stargate. This is all by writers independent of George Lucas, for the record
Oh and for the record, some planets are in a region called “The colonies,” which i would think of like New England for the Star wars galaxy - the original colonies of groups setting out from the inner rim of worlds as they progress outwards.
It’s confusing as well because there’s a double layer to the lore; humans rose up against from the ashes of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, who had enslaved them and other worlds using the infinity gate technology. The rakatans had themselves rebelled against the Kwa, who enslaved them and other worlds using the infinity gate technology.
The Kwa received the technology straight from “the celestials,” a small family of force wielding deities who help to keep the balance in the force and also keep on leaving random super-tech spacestationa lying around in space.
Then the kwa, after being defeated by Rakatans, turned into dinosaurs for some reason that i don’t understand. Completely un-evolved.

It’s at least a solid part of legends and so much of disney canon has just been adopting the cool parts of canon so i expdct it is/will be canon.
Here's what wookiepedia says
Human History, Canon
