Answer 1

using

bookMarkToWriteAfter.Parent.InsertAfterSelf(run);

you are trying to work with XML directly which is not always advisable with OpenXML.

Try This..

    Body body = mainPart.Document.GetFirstChild();
    var paras = body.Elements();

    //Iterate through the paragraphs to find the bookmarks inside
    foreach (var para in paras)
    {
        var bookMarkStarts = para.Elements();
        var bookMarkEnds = para.Elements();


        foreach (BookmarkStart bookMarkStart in bookMarkStarts)
        {
            if (bookMarkStart.Name == bookmarkName)
            {
                //Get the id of the bookmark start to find the bookmark end
                var id = bookMarkStart.Id.Value;
                var bookmarkEnd = bookMarkEnds.Where(i => i.Id.Value == id).First();

                var runElement = new Run(new Text("Hello World!!!"));

                para.InsertAfter(runElement, bookmarkEnd);

            }
        }
   }
   mainPart.Document.Save();
