ISM Questions

I didn't buy much so its really not a big deal, but now I have some additional money I'd like to put somewhere. How does ISM compare with I-Bonds? It was my understanding that the dividend or interest ISM pays adjust with inflation. But the share price of coarse can vary. What happens when interest rates go up. Would ISM drop in price or would the dividend go up?
