pardon the dp - was answering each question seperately, figured to make it easier than having one mass wall of text for two different peopele.

They look the same when written in jisho-kei, 入 plus "ru". How do you know which one is being used?

入れる（いれる）[G2] put ~ into (transitive)
入る（はいる）[G1] to enter (instransitive)
I think slightly different than what tripperazn was asking, but you'd be able to tell which reading it is by the particle used before it and generally the context of the entire sentence.
As for 'iru', i ended up with this:
入る 【いる】 (v5r,vi) (See 気に入る) to get in; to go in; to come in; to flow into; to set; to set in; (P)
For the example
'ki ni iru' = to become concerned, it's just a case of memorising it together with the 'ki' kanji.
But on it's own, i've not seen it used, to be honest,
iru tends to be written in hiragana typically for common usage.
