Open a bug report.

Do you mean the absolute location of the text run (or a character in that
run) on the screen? That's possible via the methods on TextFlow.

Sure you can. Why not? It might not be very easy, but you could write a
utility method that walks through the hierarchy and finds the character.

They should be redoable. I know that many of them are. Perhaps one of the
miniedit is executing on redo, and therefore creating a new model object
instead of reusing the one it created earlier during the first execute (and
therefore other edits/commands are referencing).
The key to redoability is to reuse all instances, as you've probably
realized.
