Answer 1

What you can do is use the \Magento\Sales\Api\OrderRepositoryInterface $order

Either use the order, or load it separately with

$comment = 'Add the comment you need...';
$order = $this->order->get(1); // Load your order
$order->addStatusHistoryComment($comment)
    ->setIsCustomerNotified(false)
    ->setEntityName('order')
    ->save(); 

Hope this helps.

Alternative way

// better to init related instances in __construct
$factory = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()
    ->get(\Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Status\HistoryFactory::class);
$repository = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()
    ->get(\Magento\Sales\Api\OrderStatusHistoryRepositoryInterface::class);

// $order - your order instance
$history = $factory->create();
$history->setParentId($order->getId())
    ->setComment('Your Comment')
    ->setStatus($order->getStatus())
    ->setIsVisibleOnFront(0)
    ->setIsCustomerNotified(0);

$repository->save($history);
