Is there a method which would return complete word which is on caret? I've read the documentation but there seems to be just method which return selected text. I wan't to write script which works with whole word without need to select it first (similar to how Find function works in PSPad).

You are right, there is no direct possibility to select word under cursor.
You can partially replace ith with 2 editor commends: ecWordLeft and ecSelWordRight, but it will mark all up to begin of the next word.
I will add command to select word into scripting

Forgot the last answer.
The correct answer is to use editor command ecSelWord. I will update readme.rtf in the Script root, cause this command is missing there
set obj = NewEditor()
obj.assignActiveEditor()
obj.command("ecSelWord")
