Answer 1

Use background-attachment: local; after you set your background image.

demo

Works in IE9+, Safari 5+, Chrome and Opera

Does not work in Firefox - see this.

HTML:

<div>
    <textarea>
        background-attachment: local;
        <!-- and so on, many more lines -->
        background-attachment: local;
    </textarea>
</div>

CSS:

div {
    width: 500px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: #ebebeb;
}
textarea {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 300px;
    background: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/EN81e.jpg);
    background-attachment: local;
    font: 20px/1.5 Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
}

EDIT

Another better compatibility solution (only browsers in which this doesn't work are Opera Mobile and Opera Mini) would be not to use a textarea, but another div with a contenteditable attribute.

demo

HTML:

<div class='outer'>
    <div class='inner' contenteditable='true'>
        background-attachment: local;
                <!-- more stuff -->
        background-attachment: local;
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.outer {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    width: 500px;
    height: 300px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: #ebebeb;
}
.inner {
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 300px;
    background: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/EN81e.jpg);
    font: 20px/1.5 Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
}
