The answer to (1) is to use the -base()- option.

Some graphical technique for (2) follows. You just need to create
variables with the positions you want and the text you want.

sysuse auto, clear
egen meanmpg = mean(mpg) , by(rep78)
su mpg
local mean = r(mean)
gen pos = cond(meanmpg > `mean', meanmpg + 0.3, meanmpg - 0.3)
gen show = string(meanmpg, "%2.1f")
twoway bar meanmpg rep78, base(`mean') barw(0.5) ///
|| scatter pos rep78, mla(show) mlabpos(0) ms(none) ///
ytitle("`: var label mpg'") legend(off)
