This is pretty close to the example in 6.6.1.1.2 of the current draft.

Look at the use of
  <fo:float float="start"> <fo:external-graphic .../> </fo:float>

If you want only the 3 lines of text beside the graphic (and top-aligned
with the graphic), you can use the "clear" property on the paragraph after
the 3 lines.

The other choice would be to use a table, place the graphic in the first
cell and the text in the second.

Yes, external graphic is intrinsically an inline object and the max of the
height of the graphinc and any line-height on the text is the default
line-spacing.
