Answer 1

This should work the way you wanted.

for(i=1; i<=8; i++){
    for(k=1; k<=10; k++){
        (function(i, k){
            setTimeout(function schreiben(){document.getElementById(''+i+k+'').value= Betrag[i][k];}, 1000*k + 10000*i);
            //document.getElementById(''+i+k+'').value= Betrag[i][k];
        })(i, k);
    }
}

To make things a bit clearer, consider refactoring like this :

for(i=1; i<=8; i++){
    for(k=1; k<=10; k++){
        setSchreibTimeout(i, k);
    }
}

function setSchreibTimeout(i, k){
    setTimeout(function schreiben(){document.getElementById(''+i+k+'').value= Betrag[i][k];}, 1000*k + 10000*i);
    //document.getElementById(''+i+k+'').value= Betrag[i][k];
}
