Updating the Viewer with the revised version when you close Editor would be optional-I can see possible problems doing that. (E.g. how do you return to the same place if you've deleted the word?)
I don't think the Viewer supports plugins - yet

IMO rather than dodging back and forth between viewer and editor it would be better to have an option in the Editor Preview panel to show text that had already been highlighted in the Viewer. The Editor does support plugins, but I'm not sure if a Editor plugin could alter the behaviour of Preview.

An alternative might be to use Sigil/PageEdit - PageEdit is Sigil's companion WYSIWYG EPUB editor - its primary usage is making content changes when proof reading.
