Answer 1

Your requirement is very specific, the best way to do this would be with a custom control.
UIView + Label + UIImageView
and there you could set your bounds to your needs. With the designer this is a simple task.
Or you could try with a UITextField, removing the borders and disabling it. Then adding a UIImageView as the RightView (or LeftView as you wish).
var textEdit = new UITextField (new CGRect (15, 100, 200, 30));
textEdit.Enabled = false;
textEdit.Text = "Hello from Xamarin";
var xamImageView = new UIImageView (new CGRect (0,0, 25, 25));
xamImageView.Image = UIImage.FromBundle ("xamagon");
textEdit.RightView = xamImageView;
textEdit.TextAlignment = UITextAlignment.Right;
textEdit.RightViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always;
textEdit.BorderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.None;
Result:
Hope this helps!

Using below code I manage
var attchment = new NSTextAttachment();
attchment.Image = UIImage.FromBundle("location_grey_icon");
attchment.Bounds = new CGRect(0, -2, 14, 14);
var newText = new NSMutableAttributedString();
newText.Append(NSAttributedString.CreateFrom(attchment));
NSAttributedString s = new NSAttributedString(item.Total.ToString());
newText.Append(s);
this.lbl_inr.AttributedText = newText;
Output :
