What happens to reserves and monetary base if the Fed buy bonds from a bank?
If the Federal reserve wants to create dollars it buys bonds from the public in the nations bond market. After the purchase the money spent is in the fists of the public. So basically the purchase of bonds by the Fed creates money, thus increasing the money supply. If the Fed sells government bonds the money then is out of the hands of the public thus decreasing the money supply. Reserves are unaffected because managing the minimum reserve for banks is a different tool that the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open Market Committee use to help manipulate the money supply and the value of that supply of money. It is called fractional reserve banking. For more information I would recommend checking out the FOMC website, Central Bank website, and Federal reserve website.
If there is high inflation the federal reserve will want to increase the money supply?
One of the two (according to the Keynesian) reason that can create high inflation is attributed to the increased money supply where "too much money chasing too few goods" Therefore, to reduce inflation, the Federal reserve would want to DECREASE the money supply. However, the increase in money supply can create stimulus demand and depreciate the exchange rate of the US Dollars which are considered (although questionable) beneficial to the US economy.

How does overspending of government affect the fluctuation of exchange rate?
The Government borrows money from the Federal Reserve Bank in order to pay for the budget deficit. The federal reserve then issues 1, 3, 5, and 10 year bonds which can be purchased by anybody in the world. The value of the bonds is determined by the trading which occurs in the bond market. The fed's selling of bonds does not directly effect the exchange rate. The total amount of dollars in circulation is not effected by this as the sale price of the bonds covers the deficit. If people outside of the US buy these bonds then they will decrease the amount of dollars in their own country with will raise the value of the dollar there. In reality this is not often the case because a weaker dollar is often the reason why the bonds are purchased by foreigners. Do not confuse the Federal Reserve's printing of new currency to mach the target rate with the financing of the deficit.
