Just taking a council request mission and the reward is a new soldier, of rank Major.
Do these "reward" troops get the Iron Will bonus & so have the higher will-power?

Yes, they do. I took two of them in my last game, and they immediately had the highest will of my squad. They later became the first to get psi powers.
Yes, but with limited gains. A new Major ranked soldier never got more than 100 willpower with many reloads. But a Major I train myself can have a maximum of 112 willpower.
