By buying bonds, the Feds help to create extra demands for bonds which might have collapse if there is reducing demand and increasing supplies (when companies and bond funds need to sell tons of bonds to have cash for their other needs).

Yes, inflating prices of bonds help to reduce risks of default, it reduce the leverage amount, it reduce the supply of bonds.
