Answer 1

Looks like you create an instance of the Shapelayer class. Of course you need a Bing Maps API account and the SDK and I don't know if those are easy to get.

Answer 2

You need to use the Bing Maps SDK. You have to create an instance of the VEMap class centered in your interest area, and then create one or more instances of VEShape and add them to the map. The following code creates a shape covering the extent of India:

//Create map
    map = new VEMap('myMap');
//Set center and zoom level
    map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(22.268764039073965, 79.98046875),4);

//Create shape (area) with TL, TR, BR and BL coordinates
    var shape = new VEShape(VEShapeType.Polygon,
                            [new VELatLong(32.84267363195431, 68.02734375),
                            new VELatLong(32.84267363195431,90.87890625),
                            new VELatLong(4.915832801313164,90.87890625),
                            new VELatLong(4.915832801313164,68.02734375)]);
//Format shape if needed
    var fillColor = new VEColor(226, 224, 219,0.5);
    shape.SetFillColor(fillColor);

//Add shape to map
    map.AddShape(shape);
