In fact and Too

OR
He wanted to go to the movies, too.
I also see this one written both ways -- with and without commas. Which is preferred?
I, too, like apples and oranges.
OR
I too like apples and oranges.
When the words 'in fact' appear in a sentence, is it set off by commas? 1 or 2? I also see this both ways.
