Answer 2

Well, it's just XML. So convert Section and Paragraph elements to their appropriate HTML equivalents (p and div, probably) and do so for the inlines as well (Run expands to just the text, probably, Span gets span, LineBreak gets br, etc.).

I.e. what you need to do is read the XAML as XML and create another document alongside where you write the elements as HTML. Applying formatting is a bit tricky, though, as you need to convert that to CSS styles (and maybe not everything apart from basic font properties works the same way in XAML and CSS).
