Answer 1

Basically set some endowed accounts here. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/bin/node/cli/src/chain_spec.rs#L303

Or use root to mint some token in this system. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/frame/balances/src/lib.rs#L314

And there are still a lot of ways to do that. But all of them are done with pallet-balances.
