I'm trying to emulate the double-click behavior of an NSTextView where it selects the word under your mouse.

I am able to set the insertion point on a single click using the characterIndexForPoint: method.

What's the best way to go from there to selecting the word (or space) where they have clicked?

NSTextView's method for this is - selectionRangeForProposedRange:granularity:. If you're doing this without a text view, the underlying implementation is in NSAttributedString's -doubleClickAtIndex:.

Note that -characterIndexForPoint: is intended for input methods, not for setting the insertion point. Try - characterIndexForInsertionAtPoint: instead.
