Answer 1

You won't be able to achieve this with HTML alone. This sounds like a job for javascript. What you are looking for is called a rich text box, and there are a few decent open-source options around. You should consider using these before building one from scratch. For instance, WordPress uses TinyMCE: http://www.tinymce.com/ . It is definitely worth a look.
