Answer 1

In IE <= 10 you can use the pasteHTML method of the TextRange representing the selection:

var doc = document.getElementById("your_iframe").contentWindow.document;

if (doc.selection && doc.selection.createRange) {
    var range = doc.selection.createRange();
    if (range.pasteHTML) {
        range.pasteHTML("Some bold text");
    }
}

UPDATE

In IE 11, document.selection is gone and insertHTML is still not supported, so you'll need something like the following:
