Answer 1

You can use the "Consolidated Comments" field that is associated with the "Task Process". 

This field automatically tracks the start of the workflow as well as each step, who performed it, the date/time and any comments entered.  By default it is a read only field and you can add it to each view.

Answer 3

Are you looking to add it to a Workflow Task or to a separate custom form? 

If you are using a Workflow Task, then it should be displayed automatically and you will see it listed in your list of available fields.

If you are using a different InfoPath Form, then create a mulitple lines of text column that allows rich text and add it to your custom InfoPath Form.  Then you can add a step to update that column.  I have included some printscreens below. 

The first shows an example of the type of information the Consolidated Comments Caputures...the second shows how to update a custom field with the task process consolidated comments. 

Hope this helps.
