To answer your actual question, I believe you can get the index like this:

The trick is The trick to find a paragraph reference is to count the paragraphs in the text:

mytext.paragraphs.length

For example, if you have a text selection and some insertion point within that selection, you might say:

mytext = app.selection[0].characters.itemByRange(app.selection[0].index,myIP.index).texts[0];
