This is a function of the website, not the image itself.  You should be
able to automate some of this (ie. extract the coordinates from exif
tags to build the html links dynamically).  I remember someone doing
this but I can't remember where I saw it.

Not sure if facebook can do what you want it to do.  Of course you could
always write an app to do this.

Watermarking is well documented on the imagemagick site.

imagemagick is provided by cygwin, so it can run on a Windows box as well.
