how to highlight one point from a search on Google Maps Places API

I am trying to build a simple webpage which shows all subway stations around a particular latitude and longitude. Point A is fixed. Point B is variable (user input). My two goals are:

1. highlight subway stations in the map


2. highlight nearest subway station to point B to reach point A.

Looking up the documentation, I know that a way to do this would be to call: http://ift.tt/1pjBYsE

My questions are:

1. This returns json data, how do I display this on a map? (specically on google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP type map)


2. 
   

   Is there another way to do this?

   
   


3. 
   

   How can I display (or mark) the nearest subway station to point B?
