Yeah, all documents are good to read, depending on your interest, you can start with "intros" "tutorials" then end up with Handbooks for NIOSII or SW dev

niosii handbook n2cpu_nii5v1 (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii5v1.pdf)

niosii software handbook n2sw_nii5v2 (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii5v2.pdf)

tt_qsys_intro (http://www.altera.com/literature/tt/tt_qsys_intro.pdf)

but I guess you'll first begin with the manuals of your board.

To answer your question, you can use a JTAG uart or real uart that you open on console window with "nios2-terminal" (see tutorials for more details). That makes you receive with NIOSII what you type on the console.
