Answer 1

A Windows Phone Runtime app can display RTF in a RichEditBox:

RichEditBox1.Document.SetText(TextSetOptions.FormatRTF,rtfString);

See Quickstart: Adding text input and editing controls and the XAML text editing sample for more info.

There isn't an in-box RTF control for Silverlight apps, but for simple RTF you can parse it yourself and then load the blocks into a RichTextBox.
