Answer 1

You can use Powershell for this. How to create one or more O365 users by using PowerShell: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt628067.aspx

In the following link they explain how to push items to a Sharepoint list. https://camerondwyer.wordpress.com/2014/05/09/sharepoint-powershell-how-to-create-sharepoint-list-items-in-root-and-in-folders-for-loadperformance-testing/

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

You could also create a O365 user using Microsoft Graph API ,you could make a post request to create user like:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users
Content-type: application/json

Below is the request body for your reference:

{
  "accountEnabled": true,
  "displayName":"displayName",
  "mailNickname": "mailNickname",
  "passwordProfile": {
      "password": "Your password"
            },
  "userPrincipalName": "displayName@yourtenant.com",

}
