Perhaps people might be a bit confused about what question you're asking? Maybe some of the things at https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-16-04-2-lts/ and http://leafletjs.com/examples.html might help?

That depends on where you want things to appear and how interactive they are. If you want something to be displayed as part of the background tile images, then you'd modify the style on the tile server. If you want clickable markers overlaid over the tiles, then you'd use the API to retrieve the necessary information and create markers in Leaflet/OpenLayers.
