Answer 1

here's a simple example that should work.

var point = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(
    new OpenLayers.Geometry.Point(-111.04, 45.68));

var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("My Layer", {
    style: OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style["default"]
});

map.addLayer(layer);
layer.addFeatures([point]);

Answer 2

This also does the trick:

var point = new OpenLayers.LonLat( -0.1279688 ,51.5077286 ).transform(
    new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
    map.getProjectionObject());

var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers("Markers");
map.addLayer(markers);

markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(point));
