Does the president's pardon power extend to findings of/punishments for civil and criminal contempt? I assume so but maybe there is some separation of powers argument to run? And are there any state actions that can be taken in this context of a president acting beyond his power?

Civil contempt is not a crime, and can't be pardoned.
