Answers:

1. There may be a way to do this but I don't know how. I suggest loading the entire document.
2. Use a combination of XPath and regular expressions
3. See the code below for a contrived example. You may have other constraints not mentioned but this code sample should get you started.

Note that your Xpath expression may need to be more complex to find the div that you want.

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();

doc.Load(yourHtmlFile);
HtmlNode divNode = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[2]");
string newDiv = Regex.Replace(divNode.InnerHtml, @"specialSearchWord", 
"specialSearchWord");
divNode.InnerHtml = newDiv;
Console.WriteLine(doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml);
