Answer 1

The working syntax on iOS (as at 11.2) appears to be sms:123&body=mybody, note the & as a separator rather than ?.

Be warned though this & separator is contrary to RFC5724 (and Android), so somewhat likely to change in future iOS versions.

Also, interestingly Apple has this to say (emphasis added):

The format for URLs of this type is sms:<phone>, where <phone> is an optional parameter that specifies the target phone number of the SMS message. This parameter can contain the digits 0 through 9 and the plus (+), hyphen (-), and period (.) characters. The URL string must not include any message text or other information.
