I'm not quite clear what you want exactly. Do you want this header to be 
displayed on all pages? Do you only want it on certain pages? HeaderFooter 
will suffice for headers on all pages. For more complex headers/footers you 
will need the RtfHeaderFooter. The tutorials have details on both:
Old:http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/index.html
New: http://itext.sourceforge.net/tutorial/

The grey colour is a Word feature. To distinguish the header/footer from the 
rest of the document while editing it is greyed. Try printing it. The text 
will be printed in black (or whatever colour you selected).

This is because the RtfWriter does not actually render the rtf document. This 
is done by the viewer (Word).

No. See above.
