Could someone please explain how government bonds being bought by the Bank of England works please?

I have a few questions and I just can’t seem to understand what is going on at the moment. Could someone explain in simple terms: 
1. Where does the Bank of England get money from?
2. If it’s money is linked to the nation, the government, or it’s ability to print money, then how is buying the governments bonds going to achieve anything?

Im problem being silly for even having to ask this question but if anyone could explain I would appreciate it.

The Bank of England has the power to create money at will. If they buy bonds, they just credit the former bondholders bank with additional money.

The point of that is buying bonds drives up their demand, which drives up their price. Right now this will be done to stabilise the falling prices of long term bonds.
