You'd want to use nil instead of "fontset-auto1" to affect the current
frame's fontset, or t to affect the default fontset.

Right, fontsets are static. How often do you customize your default
face? :-)

By default, set-fontset-font replaces the existing definition. You can
pass it 'prepend' as the fifth argument to have it add to the front of
the existing one.

For all characters or just the windows-1251 charset? If the latter
(set-fontset-font t 'windows-1251
(font-xlfd-name (face-attribute 'default :font))
should do that.
