Apart from using<, are you concerned about plain text in any particular way? Your question mentions plain text three times.

Exactly as you describe, with the indirection (<) operator:
/path/to/executable < /path/to/inputfile

To redirect from stdin, you don't use < you use |. For example (apologies for the useless use of cat)
cat /some/file | my_program
If your "stored /etc/passwd file" resides in a variable, and you are not tied to /bin/sh, you can use the <<< redirection
my_program <<< "$my_variable"
