Yes, basically how the "attention-quote" style works, one paragraph
has flat right, so the next one will flow next to it.

Yes, depends on how complicate it gets code wise. If only one class
attribute per paragraph is necessary, then you can do it with the
editor, if you need to apply more than one class, you have to use the
HTML-source

Yes, that's definitely the better approach. Although there are no
dedicated styles for this currently.

Quickly looking at the css there are:

.FloatLeft {
        float: left;
}
.FloatRight {
        float: right;
}
.captionImage.FloatRight {
        margin-left: 1em;
}
.captionImage.FloatLeft {
        margin-right: 1em;
}

i.e. class="captionImage FloatRight" will give you a right-floating
one with 1em left-margin.

But of course this could be enhanced, extended.

.clear{
        clear:both;
}

does exist already
