user mounted partitions typically go under
/mnt/<some_dir_for_mount_point>.  You can put them in /etc/fstab
provided that these partitions will be available at boot time.   You
can allow users to mount/unmount such partitions by putting "users" in
the options field,  to by pass boot time fsck  put "0  0" at the end
for such mount points.  (further reading man/info mount)

Auto mounted devices like USB pendrives external hard disks are
mounted under /media/<label_name>

None, the tools are the same system or user mounts
