For FE-forms you can use $TSFE->charSet

Dmailer could either configure the charset as mail-option or retrieve the 
charset from the newsletter itself. Options:

meta-charset of html header
charset info of xml prologue
charset attribute of http content header

For plain/text only the latter is available.

No, don't think so. Those that call t3lib.htmlmail like without passing the 
charset will get iso-8859-1 as before, but update ones can set it correctly.
