Hi dude, there is a book "Programming Mappoint in .Net" (or C#).
It has a homepage with exelent programcode to start with.
Some of my posts here also have code to get MapPoint working.

To your questions, you can put a Icon on your map by using Pushpins.
I think you can directly initialize a Location object with long/lat coords.

To object model has all functions you need to deal with that. In the help
its a little bit hidden .. try "start with mappoint object model ..." or stuff
like that.

Good Luck
