Hi

1) You can use UCD or Abaqus mesh format as input.
2) The best choice in mesh refinement is phase field variable. I have used 
phase field as control variable. Loop over cells and check the phase field 
variable in the cells. If phase field variable was greater than a limit 
then refine the cell. In addition you can use energy.

Best,
H.
