Is there a way to draw wiggly lines with Inkscape? (I don't mean hand-drawn wiggles, those are never regular; I need wiggles which have the same size everywhere on the path).

Try the Kochify extension: select a single wiggle and do Kochify Load, then select the path itself and do Kochify. The wiggle will be applied repeatedly along the path.

A related question: is there a way to draw paths with a "spring" or "coil" shape superposed on it?

Not directly, but you can create a spiral, then convert it to path and Alt+drag the central node (see an example in the middle of http://inkscape.osuosl.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-nodesculpting.p...)
