Does Quest use Inform 6?

Inform 6, and if you can edit the pure source code.

Similarly, Inform does not use Quest.
They are completely separate tools for creating interactive fiction.
Quest does allow you to edit the source code of your game. Sometimes it's necessary, because the GUI is quite limited in some ways and doesn't cover all of the functions.

I suspect this is because of the same encoding problems that crop up if you try to edit strings containing XML in code view.
If you want to take a look at the full code, you could download the game from the "My Games" list and open it in notepad or similar. But there's no way to upload a file to continue editing, so you won't be able to change anything that way.
