Once I've bookmarked lines, is there any way to insert characters at the beginning of the line so the text gets moved to the right?
Not by using Edit/Fiil Block

You could record a macro that does these steps:
- Search > Next Bookmark
- Type the characters you want to insert at the beginning of the line
And then multi-play the macro to the end of the file.

Doing Search > Next Bookmark and typing the characters I want inserted at the beginning of the line will insert the characters on that line ONLY.
I'd have to repeat typing the characters on each of the other bookmarked lines.
(I don't know how to record and multi-play a macro).

Obviously that's why I said to record a macro.
- Start by placing the cursor at the start of the first bookmarked line
- Click Macros > Record
- Type the characters you want to insert
- Click Search > Next Bookmark
- Click Macros > Stop Recording
- If a dialog appears, choose one of the options according to preference
- Click Macros > Multi-play
- Select To the end of the file
- Click OK
