I have a quadratic bezier curve described as (startX, startY) to (anchorX, anchorY) and using a control point(controlX, controlY).

I have two questions:

(1) I want to determine y points on that curve based on an x point.

(2) Then, given two intermediary points on that bezier curve, I want to know the 6 parameters needed to create that mini-bezier curve.
