Answer 1

Options would be use a background image that has the text, or use an element overlay with th text or put the text behingd the imput.

Here's a simple demo that places the text behind the input and hides it on focus

Answer 2

One solution would be to position text over the input field, obviously it can be styled as pre your example and hide the text using jquery or javascript when the text field is selected. If you want to provide some code I can be more specific.
