1. I'm currently using "Microsoft Map Point" to do push-pin style reporting but it works only in US though

2. I'm not sure if they have an API, I'm currently doing it manually for my reports

Answer 3

In case you are still interested, with the release of SQL 2012 SP1 CTP3  and SharePoint 2013 (so it's still a beta) you can have geo maps in Power View.

You may use Tableau. MSFT is lagging behind here.
