Answer to Question 1

The immediate result of the doubling of the money supply in the reserve currency's country will be able to increase the exchange rate between the reserve currency and all other currencies. However, all other countries must fix their exchange rate to the reserve currency, so they will purchase the reserve currency and hold it as official international reserves (thus increase their own money supply) until the exchange rate has returned to normal. Thus, the reserve country has the power to affect its own economy and all other countries must adjust in response.

Answer to Question 2
