.1. Not sure what is the best way to create a kml file, but you can export kml from a postgresql/postgis database. To get the osm data into the database there are several programs available (which either use predefined schemes or require from you to define a scheme) like osmosis, osm2pgsql, imposm and others. The openstreetmap-wiki contains descriptions about these tools.

.3. You can do this for example with Openlayers.
