Call a subset $Z$ of $\mathbb{S}^n$ ambiently-reversible, if there is an orientation-reversing automorphism $h: \mathbb{S}^n \to \mathbb{S}^n$ fixing $Z$ pointwise.
Question 1: Which subsets of $\mathbb{S}^n, n \geq 2$ are ambiently-reversible?
This may be hard, so let me ask a more specific question:
Question 2: Let $Z \subset \mathbb{S}^2$. Is it true that $Z$ is ambiently-reversible iff it is homeomorphic with a subspace of $\mathbb{S}^1$?
Note that if $Z$ is contained in a homeomorph $K$ of $\mathbb{S}^1$ where $K\subset \mathbb{S}^2$, then $Z$ is ambiently-reversible. To see this, apply Jordan-Shoenflies to $K$, and reflect its two sides. This can be used to show e.g. that every closed 0-dimensional subset of $\mathbb{S}^2$ is ambiently-reversible.
Remark: If $Z$ is ambiently-reversible, then so is its closure.
