For the absolute position (not a good solution, but at least it gives the result):
position cursor at wanted position
press Ctrl+Shift+Pos1 (this selects everything from beginning of file to wanted position
now go to View->Document-Properties, Document Tab
Look at Selected Characters

For the ascii value: for non-printable characters Textpad shows a tooltip with the codes if you place your mouse over it.

Other solution for both: view the file in hex mode
