Answer 1

Use UIWebView to load html file. visit webView class Reference for detail documentation.

UIWebView *webView=[[UIWebView alloc ]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 320, 480)];
[window/someotherview addSubView: webView];
NSURL *url=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] @"index" ofType:@"html"]];
NSURLRequest *reqUrl=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:reqUrl];

Answer 2

I don't think it is possible. Neither UIApplication's openURL: nor UIDocumentInteractionController will open an html file in Safari. I would suggest you instantiate your own "Safari" (UIWebView) and open the html file within your app. If will behave pretty much like Safari.

Answer 3

You can't, unless you jailbreak in which case you can start a local web server on the iPhone.
