Answer 1

If you geocode the location with google it will return coordinates for the southwest and northeast corners. You can use these 2 items to create an overlay over the neighborhood.

Answer 2

You may want to check out the Google Maps API for Styled Maps.

It lets you change the style (color, etc) of different map features, like neighborhoods.
