A sed result to be inserted into another file

How can a sed result be inserted into another file directly at a specific point of patterned string ? as below just clarifying illustration:

sed -E 's/foo/foo\0bar/' foo | sed -E '/^bar$/i{ }' bar   # ?

so insert { } inside the bar file at position of line being a bar string

This might work for you (GNU sed):

sed '/bar/e sed -n "\\#foo#p" file1' file2

This will insert the line(s) matching foo in file1 before line(s) matching bar in file2.
