Without a universal valuable currency, paper money is just that. Paper. There needs to be an accepted form of backing, world wide or there would be constant, unresolvable disputes as to the value of a countries' money.

What is the difference between expected inflation and inflation how does changing inflation expections affect short run philpse curve?

The first answer is self-explanatory. If consumers THINK a good will go up in price, then that good has a high expected inflation. Whether or not it actually does is it's actual inflation.This matters in the Phillips Curve mainly when dealing with businesses. Basically, if a business thinks it's costs are going to increase (inflation), it might not hire more people or might even lay people off to save money. Thus, as expected inflation rises, unemployment rises, just like the Curve says it would.

How can targeting interest rates result in inflation sprialing out of control?

It could cause a kind of rubber-band effect on inflation. For instance, if the market is trying to keep interest rates high and the fed keeps dumping money into the market to try to keep interest rates low, one of these forces has to give. The market is going to be suddenly flushed with cash and risks an event that causes what would normally be a natural decrease in interest rates. This would cause a huge interest rate fluctuation and subsequent inflation.
