I don't know of a wysiswyg site but someone else might. Here is the most popular tutorial site, http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ To convert shapefiles (standard GIS) to kml (API friendly), you'll need a program. I use MapWindow.
For your clustering question, I would recommend having a mouseover (or even a titletip) that pops up an infoWindow with the information you want to convey at that zoom level.
