People say to use stainless steel over a saucepan but I only have glass. I'm just concerned about the glass breaking when it is heated.

a glass bowl (pyrex) is usally the best way to go for a double boiler. It is non reactive (unlike stainless steel) and most people have one.
Make sure it is bigger than the pot, so the steam dosn't escape and get in the food (especially chocolate)
Also the water should not touch the bowl.

Pyrex Double Boiler

The point of a double boiler is to place the top bowl OVER, not in the water. Ideally, you should use Pyrex, but any sturdy glass bowl should be fine as long as it's not in the water.

Yes. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. The overly hot bowl may scorch the chocolate. (does not matter if the bowl is glass or metal the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.)

Only if the glass is intended for cooking. Liek the galss sauce pans by Corning.
You could just use two pans, noe on top of the other. Depending on what you're makeing

Have you ever microwaved that bowl in the past? If so, it's safe. I see cooks on the cooking shows using glass bowls all the time.

The bowl should be Pyrex. look on the bottom to see if it is labeled so. You can use a small pan inside a big one
