Palpatine used midichlorian manipulation to save Anakin?

That was conceived well before the entire concept of midi-chlorians, never mind Palpatine's proficiency in it. And just because can use midi-chlorian manipulation doesn't mean he's capable of reversing aging or damage. As the case with Anakin shows.

And no, he didn't use Bastila's technique, which is derived from the light side. It's explicitly stated that he used the dark side to keep Vader alive.

1. So now the argument with source context is applicable for supporting Sidious' position? Good to know.
You know what midi-chlorian manipulation means?
It means you can control them and do whatever you want with them.

So Palpatine can manipulate them, but not reverse age or damaging? Then why the heck could he use that dark side power?
That's exactly the midi-chlorian manipulation's purpose(and create life)

Note: Pretty sure that if Palpatine was able to manipulate the midi-chlorians. Sources would have already stated that(especially those who kept updating themselves)

2. Gotcha. Well in this particular line it says, "Use the Force(...)" So it is clearly not only related to dark side practitioners.
As about Bastilla's case; is anywhere stated she used a light side power instead of a neutral one?
